| femoral fractures | Fractures of the femur. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| femoral neck fractures | Fractures of the short, constricted portion of the thigh bone between the femur head and the trochanters. It excludes intertrochanteric fractures which are hip fractures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| zygomatic fractures | Fractures of the zygoma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| forearm fractures | <radiology> Monteggia proximal ulnar fracture dislocated radial head, Galeazzi radial fracture dislocated distal ulna, mnemonic: MUGR (Monteggia ulna, Galeazzi radius), Monteggia More common (12 Dec 1998) |
| fractures | Breaks in bones or cartilage. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fractures, closed | Fractures in which the break in bone is not accompanied by an external wound. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fractures, comminuted | A fracture in which the bone is splintered or crushed. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fractures, malunited | Union of the fragments of a fractured bone in a faulty or abnormal position. If two bones parallel to one another unite by osseous tissue, the result is a crossunion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fractures, open | Fractures in which there is an external wound communicating with the break of the bone. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fractures, spontaneous | Fractures occurring as a result of disease of a bone or from some undiscoverable cause, and not due to trauma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fractures, stress | Fractures due to the strain caused by repetitive exercise. They are thought to arise from a combination of muscle fatigue and bone failure, and occur in situations where bone remodeling predominates over repair. The classical stress fracture is the march fracture of military personnel, in which the metatarsal undergoes repeated stress during marching. The most common sites of stress fractures are the metatarsus, fibula, tibia, and femoral neck. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fractures, ununited | A fracture in which union fails to occur, the ends of the bone becoming rounded and eburnated, and a false joint occurs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arthroplasty, replacement, hip | Replacement of the hip joint. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bursitis, hip | A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between moving tissues of the body. There are two major bursae of the hip. Bursitis is usually not infectious, but the bursa can become infected. Treatment of non-infectious bursitis includes rest, ice, and medications for inflammation and pain. Infectious bursitis is treated with antibiotics, aspiration, and surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| retinaculum of articular capsule of hip | One of several longitudinal folds of the articular capsule of the hip joint reflected onto the femoral neck deep to which the retinacular branches of the medial femoral circumflex artery pass to reach the femoral head. Synonym: retinaculum capsulae articularis coxae, Weitbrecht's fibres. (05 Mar 2000) |
