- 9 months to 3 years of age

Page | 10

femoral condyles

Page | 11

Jones Fracture--True Jones" fracture occurs 1 distal to base of 5th metatarsal

Page | 12

Dupuytrens Fracture--Fracture of distal fibula (lateral malleolus)Lateral dislocation of talus and displacement of foot upward and outwardRupture of distal talofibular ligaments

Page | 13

Hill-Sachs (Fracture) Deformity--Results from anterior dislocation of humeral

head-Located on posterolateral aspect of head

Page | 14

Bennetts Fracture--Intra-articular fracture of base of 1st metacarpalFracture must involve 1st carpometacarpal joint

Page | 15

Tillaux Fracture-Anterior tibiofibular ligament avulses small portion of tibiaConsists of avulsion of anterior lateral margin of distal tibia

Page | 16

Cottons Fracture-A trimalleolar fracture of ankle with fractures of both malleoli and posterior lip of
tibia

Page | 17

Segond Fracture-Avulsion fracture of lateral tibial plateau at site of attachment of lateral capsular
ligamentFrequently associated with tears of anterior cruciate ligament (70 %) or MCL or

menisci

Page | 18

Hangmans Fracture-Hyperextension/compression fxFractures through the pedicles of C2 with anterolisthesis of C2 on C3

Page | 19

Malgaigne Fracture-Most common unstable pelvic fractureVertical shearing involves anterior & posterior archesMost commonly through pubic rami and sacrum

Page | 20

Duverny Fracture-Stable pelvic fractureConsists of isolated fracture of one iliac wing

Page | 21

Colles Fracture-Transverse fracture of distal radial metaphysis proximal to joint with dorsal
displacement and angulation of distal fragment

Page | 22

Chance Fracture-Seat belt fractureHorizontal fracture through spinous process with little or no compression of
vertebral bodyMay be associated with horizontal fracture through vertebral body

Page | 23

Smith Fracture-Transverse fracture of distal radial metaphysis with palmar displacement of

distal fracture fragmentIf intra-articular, called reverse Barton fracture

Page | 24

Choparts Fracture-Fracture dislocation involving the midtarsal joints in which there is superior
dislocation of the navicular and cuboid bones on the talus and calcaneus

Page | 25

Galeazzi Fracture-Fracture of shaft of radius associated with dislocation of distal radioulnar joint-

Page | 26

Mallet Finger-Baseball finger (a.k.a. Mallet Finger) describes a flexion deformity of distal
interphalangeal joint caused by extensor tendon separation from distal phalanx

Page | 27

Bumper Fracture-Valgus injury may result in compression fracture of lateral tibial plateauMay be associated with fracture of neck of fibulaAccompanying disruption of MCL likely

Page | 28

Dashboard Fracture-Fracture of posterior rim of acetabulum

Page | 29

Essex Lopresti Fracture-Comminuted fracture of head of radius, associated with dislocation of distal
ulnar jointLike Galeazzi fx but radial fx is comminuted and involves head

Page | 30

Skiers Thumb-AKA gamekeepers, Break-dancers thumb-Injury involves ulnar collateral ligament of MCP joint of thumb

Page | 31

Straddle Fracture-Bilateral fractures of all pubic ramiAssociated with urethral and bladder injuries in 20%

Page | 32

Chisel Fracture-Incomplete fracture of head of radiusFracture line extends distally from center of articular surface, approximately
one-half inchIn adults, most common fracture of elbow involves either head or neck of the
radius

Page | 33

Lisfranc Fracture-Divergent dislocation consists of lateral dislocation of metatarsals 2-5 and

medial dislocation of 1st metatarsal

Page | 34

Jefferson Fracture-C1-Burst fracture-producing bilateral breaks in anterior and posterior arches

Page | 35

Maissoneuve Fracture-Typically, fracture of medial malleolus with disruption of tibiofibular

syndesmosisResults in fracture of proximal third of fibulaMaissoneuve fracture results from an ankle eversion injury

Page | 36

Bankart Fracture-Fracture of inferior rim of glenoid caused by posterolateral margin of humeral

head impacting glenoid while dislocating anteriorly

Page | 37

March Fracture-Stress fracture of the shaft of either the 2nd or 3rd metatarsal

Page | 38

Boxers Fracture-Transverse fracture of head of 5th metacarpal with palmar angulation

Page | 39

Reverse Bartons Fracture-Reverse Barton fracture involves volar rim of radius while conventional Barton
fracture involves dorsal rimMust be intra-articularSimilar in appearance to Smith fracture, which is not intra-articular

Page | 40

Nightstick Fracture-Transverse fracture of the midshaft of ulna-

Page | 41

Rolando Fracture-Comminuted fracture-dislocation of base of first metacarpalIntra-articular and comminuted, distinguishing it from non-comminuted Bennett
fracture-

Page | 42

Lisfranc Fracture-Most common dislocation in foot, consisting of dorsal dislocation of

tarsometatarsal jointsHomolateral dislocation consists of lateral dislocation of metatarsals 1-5 or 2-5-Injury due to severe plantarflexion of foot with folding of midfoot upon forefoot-

Page | 43

Monteggia Fracture-Proximal ulnar fracture with anterior dislocation of radial headDue to forceful pronation injury of forearmReversed" Monteggia fracture-dislocation injuries=posterior angulation of ulnar
fracture site and posterior dislocation of radial head-

Page | 44

Potts Fracture--Fx of lower end of fibula and medial malleolus of tibia

Caused by outward and backward displacement of leg while foot fixed-

Page | 45

Trough Sign (Fracture)-Fracture of anteromedial aspect of the humeral headProduced when humeral head impacts posterior glenoid during posterior
dislocation of shoulder-

Page | 46

Bartons Fracture-Intra-articular fracture of dorsal margin of distal radiusFracture line is oblique and extends to the radiocarpal joint-

Page | 47

Nursemaids Elbow-Dislocation of the radial head caused by forceful pull on the forearmLine parallel to the long-axis of the shaft of the radius should always intersect the
capitellum
