This document discusses fracture classification and management. It defines a fracture and describes how fractures are classified based on factors like whether they are open or closed, the degree of displacement, location, and number of fragments. The major classifications are closed fractures, open fractures, and physeal fractures. Closed fractures do not break the skin, while open fractures do. Fractures are also classified as reducible or non-reducible based on the number of fragments. The document outlines different types of closed fractures and discusses fracture reduction and management strategies.
Fracture its types classification and manangment
- 1. FRACTURE ,its types, classification and management Muhammad Azeem 13-arid-1090
- 3. Fracture Fracture: A break in bone or cartilage. Although usually a result of trauma, a fracture can be the result of an acquired disease ofbone, such as osteoporosis, or of abnormal formation of bone in a congenital disease of bone, such as osteogenesis imperfecta ('brittle bone disease').
- 4. CLASSIFICATION OF FRACTURES • Fractures are classified to allow accurate communication with owners and colleagues and to aid in planning the appropriate treatment The classification of the fracture is based on different things 1-whether the fracture is open to the environment. 2-the degree of damage and displacement of the fragments 3- the type of fracture 4- whether the fracture fragments can be reconstructed to provide load bearing (reducible or nondeductible). 5-ocation of the fracture. Fractures may be closed to the external environment or open
- 5. Classification Majorly fracture is divided into three categories 1-closed fracture 2-Open fracture 3-Physeal Fractures (These classes are further divided into different types individually)
- 6. Closed fracture • A closed fracture is a broken bone that does not penetrate the skin. This is an important distinction because when a broken bone penetrates the skin (an open fracture) there is a need for immediate treatment, and an operation is often required to clean the area of thefracture
- 7. Types of close 1. greenstick fracture 2. Avulsion fracture 3. transverse fracture 4. Oblique fracture 5. short oblique 6. long oblique 7. Comminuted fractures 8. butterfly fragment Fractures are further classified as reducible (usually single fracture line or fractures with no more than two large fragments) or non reducible (fractures with multiple small fragments)
- 8. GREENSTICK FRACTURE OCCUR IN IMMATURE ANIMALS
- 9. Avulsion fractures occur when the insertion point of a tendon or ligament is fractured and distracted from the rest of the bone
- 10. A fracture line perpendicular to the long axis of the bone is a transverse fracture
- 11. Oblique fracture lines run at an angle to the perpendicular line to the long axis of the bone; they are described as short oblique fractures if they are 45 degrees or less or long oblique fractures if they are greater than 45 degrees to the perpendicular to the long axis of the bone
- 13. Spiral fractures are similar to long oblique fractures but wrap around the long axis of the bone. Single fractures have one fracture line
- 14. Comminuted fractures have multiple fracture lines. Comminuted fractures range from three-piece fractures with a butterfly fragment
- 15. Butterfly fracture (fragment with two oblique fracture lines resembling a butterfly
- 16. Velocity of the forces causing the fracture dictates the number of fragments and the damage to surrounding soft tissues. Low-velocity forces result in single fractures with little energy dissipated into the soft tissue. Conversely, high-velocity forces result in comminuted fractures with the high energy dissipated through fracture propagation and surrounding soft tissue injury
- 17. • Fractures are further classified as Reducible: usually single fracture line or fractures with no more than two large fragments Nonreducible: fractures with multiple small fragments
- 18. OPEN FRACTURE Open fractures are classified according to 1-the mechanism of puncture and 2- the severity of soft tissue injury
- 21. Physeal Fracture • Physeal fractures are identified according to the Salter-Harris classification scheme, which identifies the location of the fracture line
- 23. DECISION MAKING IN FRACTURE MANAGEMENT • Appropriate decision-making processes to choose implants and plan the procedure should produce consistent and predictable results We facilitate our decision by categorizing the state of patient by the help of fracture assessment score They are based on 2 types of factors 1- mechanical factors 2-biological factors
- 27. Fracture reduction • Reduction is defined as the process of either reconstructing fractured bone fragments to their normal anatomic configuration or restoring normal limb alignment by reestablishing normal limb length and joint alignment while maintaining spatial orientation of the limb • Two type of strategies 1- open reduction 2- close reduction
