| Colles fracture | <orthopaedics> A common fracture of the distal radius at the wrist joint due to a fall on an outstretched hand. Colles fracture is also referred to as the silver fork deformity, because the distal fracture fragment is usually angulated upwards (dorsal angulation). The resultant bend in the wrist results in the familiar appearance of a fork. If the resultant fracture angulation is in the opposite direction (toward the palm) it is referred to as a Smith's fracture. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| colles' fracture | Fracture of the lower end of the radius in which the lower fragment is displaced posteriorly. (12 Dec 1998) |
| monteggia fracture | <radiology> Angulated fracture at the junction of the proximal and middle third of ulna accompained by anterior dislocation of the radial head aetiology: transmission of force thorugh the hand and forearm with the elbow partially flexed, interosseous ligament drags the radius with the distal two-thirds of the ulna, MUGR mnemonic, Monteggia with ulna (proximal), Galeazzi with radius (distal) see: forearm fractures (12 Dec 1998) |
| monteggia's fracture | A fracture of the forearm characterised by a fracture of the ulna with dislocation of the head of the radius. (27 Sep 1997) |
| comminuted fracture | A fracture in which the bone is broken into pieces. (05 Mar 2000) |
| comminuted skull fracture | A fracture of the skull with fragmentation of bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| complicated fracture | A fracture with significant soft tissue injury. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compound fracture | Fracture in which the skin is perforated and there is an open wound down to the fracture. Synonym: compound fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |

| compression fracture | <orthopaedics> A spinal fracture, more specifically, of a vertebral body, that results from the axial compression of the vertebra. Compression fractions result in a loss of height of the vertebral body on X-ray. May occur in any region of the spine. Compression fractures occur commonly in post-menopausal females who subject to osteoporosis. (05 Jan 1998) |
| multiple fracture | Fracture at two or more places in a bone. See: segmental fracture. Fracture of several bones occurring simultaneously. (05 Mar 2000) |

| pond fracture | A circular depressed skull fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| craniofacial dysjunction fracture | A complex fracture in which the facial bones are separated from the cranial bones. Synonym: Le Fort III craniofacial dysjunction, Le Fort III fracture, transverse facial fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Pott's fracture | Fracture of the lower part of the fibula and of the malleolus of the tibia, with outward displacement of the foot. (05 Mar 2000) |
