| chopart fracture-dislocation | <radiology> A fracture-dislocation occuring through the hindfoot-midfoot joint (i.e., tarsonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints) (12 Dec 1998) |

| gutter fracture | A long, narrow, depressed fracture of the skull. (05 Mar 2000) |
| clay shoveler's fracture | <radiology> Avulsion fracture of spinous process of C7 or T1, sudden load on a flexed spine, may occur secondary to rotational injury see: cervical spine fractures (12 Dec 1998) |
| closed fracture | A fracture in which skin is intact at site of fracture. Synonym: simple fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| closed skull fracture | Fracture with intact overlying scalp and/or mucous membranes. Synonym: simple skull fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Wagstaffe's fracture | Fracture, with displacement, of the medial malleolus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| piedmont fracture | <radiology> Closed fracture of radius, at the junction of the middle and distal thirds, no associated ulnar fracture, due to direct blow (12 Dec 1998) |
| pilon fracture | A fracture of the distal metaphysis of the tibia extending into the ankle joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
