Limb compartment syndrome is often caused by traumatic injury due to:- significant _____ fractures- reperfusion injury- animal venoms

Stress fractures are seen in normal bone due to repeated _____ of the bone

In an atrophic non-union, how is the biological healing activity at the fracture site characterized?

The given x-ray shows hypertrophic nonunion caused by inadequate _____

The given image shows a fracture of the radial styloid process, which is called a _____ fracture. (Ignore the red arrow)

The most common nerve affected by posterior elbow dislocation is _____ nerve

Principles of Fracture Management Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: X-ray showing compression on one side of the radius causing the other side to bend/ buckle suggests a _____ fracture.

Answer: torus

Flashcard 2: Non-union is defined as arrest in the healing process of a fracture lasting more than _____ months and for which there has been no signs of healing for 3 months

Answer: 9

Flashcard 3: In a hypertrophic non-union, how is the biology of the fracture healing?

Answer: Normal (preserved biology)

Extra: Hypertrophic non-union occurs when there is adequate biology (blood supply) but inadequate stability (mechanical environment). It is characterized by excessive callus formation (e.g., "elephant foot" appearance). In contrast, atrophic non-union has poor biology.

Flashcard 4: Limb compartment syndrome is often caused by traumatic injury due to:- significant _____ fractures- reperfusion injury- animal venoms

Answer: long bone

Flashcard 5: Stress fractures are seen in normal bone due to repeated _____ of the bone

Answer: abnormal loading

Flashcard 6: In an atrophic non-union, how is the biological healing activity at the fracture site characterized?

Answer: Biologically inactive (or deficient)

Flashcard 7: The given x-ray shows hypertrophic nonunion caused by inadequate _____

Answer: stabilization

Flashcard 8: The given image shows a fracture of the radial styloid process, which is called a _____ fracture. (Ignore the red arrow)

Answer: Chauffeur's

Flashcard 9: The most common nerve affected by posterior elbow dislocation is _____ nerve

Answer: Ulnar

Flashcard 10: _____ is pathognomonic for associated both-column fractures of the acetabulum.

Answer: Spur sign

Extra: The spur sign is seen on the obturator oblique view and represents the intact posterior part of the ilium. It is pathognomonic for associated both-column fractures because it indicates that the entire articular surface (both columns) has been separated from the axial skeleton ("floating acetabulum"). In transverse or T-shaped fractures, a portion of the acetabular roof remains attached to the ilium, so no spur is formed.
