DictionarySeefractureMedicalSeeFRACTURE OF THE HUMERUS: Radiographic image of a fracture of the humerus (COURTESY of W. Robert Strauss, Jr.)fracture of humerusDisruption of the bony cortex of the upper arm. If the fracture is of the upper end of the humerus, the arm is abducted and splinted for about 4 weeks. Movements of the elbow and wrist are started early, and active movements of the shoulder are begun in about 3 weeks. See: illustration; acromiohumeral; capitellum; cubitus; glenoid cavityIn a fracture of the shaft and lower end of the humerus, the limb is put in a cast in a position midway between pronation and supination with the humerus at right angles to the forearm. Movement of the shoulder, wrist, and finger is allowed. impacted fractureA fracture in which the bone is broken and one end is wedged into the interior of the opposing end. incomplete fractureA fracture in which the line of fracture does not transverse the bone.indirect fractureA fracture distant from the place where the force was applied.insufficiency fractureA stress fracture occurring in abnormal bone (e.g., osteoporotic bone) subjected to normal forces.intracapsular fractureA fracture occurring within the capsule of a joint. intrauterine fractureA broken fetal bone.Jefferson fracture See: Jefferson fractureJones fracture See: Jones fracturelead pipe fractureA fracture in which the bone is compressed and bent so that one side of the fracture bulges and the other side shows a slight fracture line.LeFort fractureA fracture usually involving more than one of the facial bones: maxillary, nasal, orbital, and/or zygomatic. Synonym: mid-face fracturelover's fractureA colloquial term for a fracture of the calcaneus, due to jumping from a height, e.g., a balcony or second-story window. march fractureA fracture of the metatarsals as a result of overuse. mid-face fractureLeFort fractureMonteggia fracture See: Monteggia fracturenightstick fractureA nondisplaced transverse fracture of the ulna resulting from a direct blow.nonunion of fracture See: nonunionoccult fractureA fracture that is suspected based on clinical grounds (e.g., guarding, pain, and swelling) but not seen on x-rays. The fracture may be seen with bone scans or magnetic resonance imaging. open fractureCompound fracture.orbital blow-out fractureA fracture of the bony floor beneath the eye. It typically results in entrapment of the inferior rectus muscle, with a consequent inability to look upward with the affected eye, which causes double vision during vertical gaze. open-book fractureA fracture in which the pubic symphysis is broken apart, e.g., in a high-speed, front-end automobile crash. The pelvis can separate in the front even though it remains held in place posteriorly by the spine or posterior ligaments. overriding fractureOverriding.pathological fractureA fracture of a diseased or weakened bone caused by a force that would not have fractured a healthy bone. The underlying disease may be a metastasized cancer, primary cancer of the bone, or osteoporosis. Patient careThe limbs and joints of at-risk patients are gently and carefully supported when repositioning, exercising, or mobilizing. If such patients fall or are injured, and report limb, pelvic, or back pain or inability to bear weight, the patient and the affected limb should be stabilized and - diagnostic imaging obtained. pelvic fractureFracture of one of more of the bones of the pelvis, i.e. of the ilium, ischium, or pubis. Pelvic fractures occur after falls, esp. in the elderly, in whom the pelvic bones may be weakened by osteoporosis, and after high-impact trauma, e.g., motor vehicle crashes. Some pelvic fractures are accompanied by internal organ damage, esp. to the genitourinary organs. Regaining the ability to walk after pelvic fracture sometimes requires months of rehabilitation. penile fractureSudden trauma to the tunica albuginea of the penis, resulting in a rupture of the corpus cavernosum and sometimes a tearing of the urethra. The injury typically occurs during sexual intercourse (or, less often, during masturbation) and may be accompanied by bleeding into the penis. ping-pong fractureA depressed skull fracture in a newborn or very young infant in which the bone bends inward (like a dented ping-pong ball) without breaking. It may occur during strenuous labor and delivery, or in trauma to the pliant skull in the first weeks of life. Pott fracture See: Pott, John Percivallpretrochanteric fractureA fracture that passes through the greater trochanter of the femur.Rolando fracture See: Rolando fracturesimple fractureA fracture without rupture of ligaments and skin. fracture of skull, fractured skullLoss of the integrity of one or more bones of the cranium. A fracture is classified according to whether it is in the vault or the base but, from the point of view of treatment, a more useful classification is differentiating between a simple fracture (uncommon) and a compound fracture. When a compound fracture occurs in the vault of the skull, the bone is depressed and driven inward, possibly damaging the brain. Treatment is operative. See: fracturesleeve fractureAn avulsion fracture of the patella that typically occurs as a result of a sudden strong contraction of the quadriceps muscle group.Smith fracture See: Smith fracturesnowboarder's fractureA fracture of the lateral border of the talus caused by inversion and rotation of the talus within the mortise. Signs and symptoms often mimic those of an inversion (lateral) ankle sprain. fracture of the spineFracture of a vertebral body or its bony prominences. Synonym: vertebral fracture See: burst fracture; compression fracture; hangman's fracture; Jefferson fractureTreatmentThe patient is carefully assessed for evidence of neuromuscular compromise and other internal injuries. To prevent complications and promote healing, vests, casts, or halo devices may be used, depending on the location of the fracture. A program of supervised physical therapy may be needed during recovery. PrognosisPrognosis depends on the type of spinal fracture and associated spinal cord involvement. spiral fractureA fracture that follows a helical line along and around the course of a long bone.sprain fractureThe separation of a ligament from its insertion, taking with it a piece of the bone. See: avulsion fracturestellate fractureA fracture with numerous fissures radiating from the central point of injury.straddle fractureA traumatic fracture of all four pubic rami, often associated with injury to the urethra.stress fractureA microfracture that appears without evidence of a single traumatic onset. This type of fracture is difficult to diagnose by standard radiography and may not become visible until 3 to 4 weeks after the onset of symptoms. Scintigraphy, CT, and/or MRI may lead to earlier identification of the fracture lines. Stress fractures occur from repetitive microtraumas (from running, aerobic dancing, or marching or other cyclical actions), from improper shoes on hard surfaces, or from inadequate healing time after stress. Stress fractures are classified as fatigue fractures or insufficiency fractures based on their etiology. Undiagnosed and untreated stress fractures may progress to frank fractures. Synonym: fatigue fracture See: insufficiency fractureT fractureA fracture in which bone splits both longitudinally and transversely.toddler's fractureA fracture of the distal third of the tibia, sustained in a child typically aged 2 to 4. The child may limp or refuse to walk because of pain. The fracture may not be easily seen on plain radiographs. Synonym: childhood accidental spiral tibial fracturetorus fractureA fracture where the structure of one side of the bone is compressed, while the opposite side deflects from the growth plate, leaving the cortex intact. Synonym: buckle fracturetranscervical fractureA fracture through the neck of the femur. transverse fractureA fracture in which the fracture line is at right angles to the long axis of the bone.trimalleolar fractureA fracture of the lateral and medial malleoli of the ankle joint with an additional fracture of the posterior edge of the distal tibia.tripod fractureA fracture in which the zygoma is separated from its attachment to the maxilla and the temporal and frontal bones. vertebral fractureFracture of the spine.Wagstaffe fracture See: Wagstaffe fractureillustrationfracture A break, usually of a bone. This occurs when excessive force is applied to a healthy bone or when lesser force is applied to a bone generally weakened by a disease such as OSTEOPOROSIS, or locally weakened by a tumour or cyst. Such a fracture is called a pathological fracture. Fractures may be transverse, oblique or spiral, or the bone may be shattered into pieces (comminuted). Young bone, subjected to bending stress, often fractures on one side but bends on the other. This is called a ‘greenstick’ fracture. In simple fractures the overlying soft tissue is intact. In compound fractures, the fractured bone is exposed and infected. In complicated fractures there is also injury to other nearby structures such as major blood vessels and nerves. Fracture-dislocations pass across a joint and the normal relationship of the joint surfaces to one another is altered.FractureA break or crack in a bone.Mentioned in: Bone Disorder Drugs, Mallet Finger, Pelvic Fracturefrac·ture (frak'shŭr) A break, especially bone or cartilage.

Q. Has anyone fractured their pelvic bone?...and if so how long did it take until you could walk on side injured A. my cousin fractured his pelvic bone in two places while skiing last winter (my brother pictured the helicopter coming for the rescue, a very good picture..). it took him a month until he could start walking with a cane, and about 2 months later he could walk properly.
if you want i'll send you the picture, you can say it's you :) Q. I had sugery on a fractured heel what is the recovery process? Wanting to meet people who are going thru this now or have already recovered from this injury. What should I expect?A. Hey doyen_98, I was wondering how the recovery was coming along.
