They should not be confused with fatigue fractures which are due to abnormal stresses on normal bone, or with pathological fractures, the result of diseased, weakened bone due to focal pathology Le Fort fractures are fractures of the midface, which collectively involve separation of all or a portion of the midface from the skull base.In order to be separated from the skull base, the pterygoid plates of the sphenoid bone need to be involved as these connect the midface to the sphenoid bone dorsally. If immobilization is impractical (large body habitus) or the patient has polytrauma, surgical management may also be indicated. The prognosis is significantly decreased by delayed diagnosis and treatment. Conveniently the Salter-Harris types can be remembered by the mnemonic SALTR.. type I. slipped; 5-7%; fracture plane passes all the way through the Treatment is closed reduction and casting or surgical fixation depending on the degree of displacement. during ball sports). Epidemiology. Traditionally this avulsion fracture has been ascribed to the insertion of peroneus brevis and is caused by forcible inversion of the foot in plantar flexion, as may occur while stepping on a curb or climbing steps. The Le Fort classification system attempts to distinguish according to Case 5: combined Monteggia and Galeazzi fractures, Galeazzi and Monteggia fracture-dislocations (mnemonic), Gustilo Anderson classification (compound fracture), Anderson and Montesano classification of occipital condyle fractures, Traynelis classification of atlanto-occipital dissociation, longitudinal versus transverse petrous temporal bone fracture, naso-orbitoethmoid (NOE) complex fracture, cervical spine fracture classification systems, AO classification of upper cervical injuries, subaxial cervical spine injury classification (SLIC), thoracolumbar spinal fracture classification systems, AO classification of thoracolumbar injuries, thoracolumbar injury classification and severity score (TLICS), Rockwood classification (acromioclavicular joint injury), Neer classification (proximal humeral fracture), AO classification (proximal humeral fracture), AO/OTA classification of distal humeral fractures, Milch classification (lateral humeral condyle fracture), Weiss classification (lateral humeral condyle fracture), Bado classification of Monteggia fracture-dislocations (radius-ulna), Mason classification (radial head fracture), Frykman classification (distal radial fracture), Hintermann classification (gamekeeper's thumb), Eaton classification (volar plate avulsion injury), Keifhaber-Stern classification (volar plate avulsion injury), Judet and Letournel classification (acetabular fracture), Harris classification (acetebular fracture), Young and Burgess classification of pelvic ring fractures, Pipkin classification (femoral head fracture), American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons classification (periprosthetic hip fracture), Cooke and Newman classification (periprosthetic hip fracture), Johansson classification (periprosthetic hip fracture), Vancouver classification (periprosthetic hip fracture), Winquist classification (femoral shaft fracture), Schatzker classification (tibial plateau fracture), AO classification of distal femur fractures, Lauge-Hansen classification (ankle injury), Danis-Weber classification (ankle fracture), Berndt and Harty classification (osteochondral lesions of the talus), Sanders CT classification (calcaneal fracture), Hawkins classification (talar neck fracture), anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) avulsion, anterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture, posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture, avulsion fracture of the proximal 5th metatarsal, the age-dependent normal appearance of the, that up to 24% of cases are associated with a distal radial fracture. With this mechanism, the anterior tibiofibular ligament avulses the anterolateral corner of the distal tibial epiphysis 3. Pathology. Pathology. WebAn ankle fracture is a break of one or more of the bones that make up the ankle joint. Examples include: Jefferson fracture: ring fracture of C1; hangman fracture: bilateral pedicle or pars fracture of C2; dens fracture; flexion teardrop fracture: unstable flexion fracture; extension teardrop fracture: The three aforementioned parts of bone articulate with the talus bone of the Konrad GG, Kundel K, Kreuz PC et-al. As is usually the case, in everyday practice, describing the fracture-dislocation is far more important than remembering the grade.

A trimalleolar fracture is a fracture of the ankle that involves the lateral malleolus, the medial malleolus, and the distal posterior aspect of the tibia, which can be termed the posterior malleolus.The trauma is sometimes accompanied by ligament damage and dislocation.. The Weber ankle fracture classification (or Danis-Weber classification) is a simple system for classification of lateral malleolar fractures, relating to the level of the fracture in relation to the ankle joint, specifically the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis.It has a role in determining treatment. Typically, Monteggia fracture-dislocations occur as the result of a fall onto an outstretched hand (FOOSH) 4.. It is also sometimes termed the dorsal type Barton fracture to distinguish it from the volar type or reverse Barton fracture. It is more common in men than in women 1.. Pathology. Pediatric bone imaging: imaging elbow trauma in children--a review of acute and chronic injuries. These type of fractures are more common in children, especially aged 5-10 years, due to the elasticity of their bones.

Barton fractures are fractures of the distal radius. This occurs as a result of a violent contraction of the quadriceps muscles, most often as a result of a high-power jump. Sternal fractures occur in ~5% of blunt chest trauma with the manubrium being the most commonly injured part. 2. The Weber ankle fracture classification (or Danis-Weber classification) is a simple system for classification of lateral malleolar fractures, relating to the level of the fracture in relation to the ankle joint, specifically the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis.It has a role in determining treatment. A tibial eminence fracture, also known as a tibia spine fracture, is an intra-articular fracture of the bony attachment of the ACL on the tibia that is most commonly seen in children from age 8 to 14 years during athletic activity. Epidemiology. Tibial tuberosity avulsion fractures are uncommon. Strictly speaking, the fracture is misnamed and should more correctly be called "hangee" fracture. It is named after Giovanni Battista Monteggia,Italian surgeon (1762-1815), who first described what is now known as the Bado type I fracture in 1814 5-6. Examples include: Jefferson fracture: ring fracture of C1; hangman fracture: bilateral pedicle or pars fracture of C2; dens fracture; flexion teardrop fracture: unstable flexion fracture; extension teardrop fracture: Spinal fractures are usually the result of significant trauma to a normally formed skeleton or the result of trauma to a weakened spinal column. They should not be confused with fatigue fractures which are due to abnormal stresses on normal bone, or with pathological fractures, the result of diseased, weakened bone due to thickening and oedema of the distal patellar tendon; infrapatellar bursitis (clergyman's knee) Plain radiograph. Tibial stress syndrome (also known as shin splints) is an overuse injury or repetitive-load injury of the shin area that leads to persistent dull anterior leg pain. The Le Fort classification system attempts to distinguish according to It is for this reason that the 5 th metatarsal base must be included in the lateral ankle projection of an ankle series, especially when performed for an It is also sometimes termed the dorsal type Barton fracture to distinguish it from the volar type or reverse Barton fracture.
