| 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) |
| arterial arch of upper eyelid | Formed by communicating branches of the medial and lateral palpebral arteries. Often two arches are present, one located near the free border of the tarsal plate, the other along the upper border of the tarsus. Synonym: arcus palpebralis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bones of upper extremity | The bones of the upper and lower arm. They include the clavicle and scapula. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bones of upper limb | These include the superior limb girdle (scapula and clavicle) and the skeleton of the free superior limb (humerus, radius, ulna, wrist bones, metacarpus, and bones of the fingers). Synonym: ossa membri superioris, bones of superior limb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| denture, complete, upper | A complete denture replacing all the natural maxillary teeth and associated maxillary structures. It is completely supported by the oral tissue and underlying maxillary bone. (12 Dec 1998) |
| quadrate muscle of upper lip | Composed of three heads usually described as three separate muscles; they are the caput angulare or levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle; caput infraorbitale or levator labii superioris muscle; caput zygomaticum or zygomaticus minor muscle. Synonym: quadrate muscle of upper lip. (05 Mar 2000) |
