| Fx-dis | fracture-dislocation |
| cranial vertebra | A segment of the skull regarded as homologous with a segment of the vertebral column. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| ivory vertebra | A radiographically dense vertebra, usually from metastatic disease, especially lymphoma when solitary. (05 Mar 2000) |
| odontoid vertebra | <botany> A stem, commonly used for the main stem of a whole plant or of an inflorescence. (09 Oct 1997) |
| toothed vertebra | <botany> A stem, commonly used for the main stem of a whole plant or of an inflorescence. (09 Oct 1997) |
| true vertebra | Any one of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar vertebrae. Synonym: vertebra vera. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acromioclavicular dislocation | <orthopaedics> Disruption of the normal articulation between the acromion process and the clavicle. The acromioclavicular joint (AC joint) is normally stabilised by several ligaments that can be torn in the process of dislocating the AC joint). See: acromioclavicular sprain. (27 Sep 1997) |
| patellar dislocation | <radiology> most common in young girls, (genu valgum, patella alta, quad mm deficiency more in girls), lateral dislocation, spontaneous reduction, recurrent dislocation, fracture associated in 5-10% (12 Dec 1998) |
| perilunar dislocation | Dislocation of carpal bones around the lunate, which remains in relation to the radius; distinguish from dislocation of lunate, Kienbock's dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| perilunate dislocation | <radiology> Lunate remains aligned with radius, capitate dislocates (usually posteriorly), more common than lunate dislocation (radial-lunate ligaments stronger than lunate-capitate ligaments), associated with scaphoid fractures (75%) = transscaphoid perilunate dislocation (12 Dec 1998) |
| chopart fracture-dislocation | <radiology> A fracture-dislocation occuring through the hindfoot-midfoot joint (i.e., tarsonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints) (12 Dec 1998) |
| closed dislocation | A dislocation not complicated by an external wound. Synonym: simple dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compound dislocation | Synonym: open dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| congenital hip dislocation | A malformation of the hip joint that is present at birth. Genetic factors likely play a role in this disorder. Features include hip dislocation, asymmetry of leg positions, asymmetric fat folds and diminished movement on the affected side. Some children will exhibit little or no features and must be diagnosed by physical examination of the hip joints. (27 Sep 1997) |
| wrist dislocation | <radiology> 10% of all carpal injuries due to fall on outstretched hand, perilunate dislocation (more common), lunate dislocation (12 Dec 1998) |
| hip dislocation | <radiology> Usually posterior, hip flexed, knee hits dashboard during deceleration, superior migration of femoral head, with or without acetabular fracture (12 Dec 1998) |
