ALL TYPES OF NAMED FRACTURES
1.Monteggia fracture-dislocation:
Fracture of the proximal -third of the ulna with dislocation
of thehead of the radius
2.Rolando fracture:
Fracture of the base of the first metacarpal (extra-
articular).
3.Jefferson's fracture:
Fracture of the first cervical vertebra.
4.Galeazzifracture-dislocalton:
Fracture of the distal third of the radius with dislocation of
the distal radio ulnar joint.
5.Whiplash injury:
Cervical spine injury where sudden flexion followed by
hyperextension takes place.
6.Night-stickk fracture:
Isolated Fracture of the shaft of ulna sustained while trying
to ward off a stick blow.
7.Chance fracture:
Also called seat-belt fracture, thefracture line running
horizontally through the body of the vertebra, through and
through, to the posterior elements.
8.Colles fracture :
A fracture occurring in adults, at the cortico-cancellous
junction of the distal-end of the radius, with dorsal tilt and
other displacements.
9.March fracture:
Fatígue fracture of the shaft of 2ndor 3rd metatarsal.
10.Smith's fracture:
A fracture occurring in adults, at the cortico-cancellous
junction of the distal-end
of the radius with Ventral tilt and other
displacements (reverse of Colles).
11.Burst fracture:
It is a comminuted fracture of the
vertebral body where fragments "burst out" in
different directions.
12.Barton's fracture (Marginal fracture):
Intra-articular fractures through the distal articular
surface of the radius, taking a margin, anterior
or posterior, of the distal radius with the carpals
displaced anteriorly or posteriorly.
13.Clay-Shoveller fracture: It is an avulsion fracture
of spinous process of one or more of the lower
cervical or upper thoracic vertebrae.
14.Hangman's fracture: It is a fracture through the
pedicle and lamina of C2 vertebra, with sublux-
ation of C2 over C3 sustained in hanging.
15.Chauffeur fracture :An intra-articular, oblique
fracture of the styloid process of the radius.
16.Dashboard fracture:
A fracture of posterior lip of the acetabulum, often
associated with posterior dislocation of the hip.
17.Bennett's fracture-dislocation:
It is an oblique, intra-articular fracture of the base of the
first metacarpal with subluxation of the trapezio-
metacarpal joint.
18.Straddle fracture:
Bilateral superior and inferior pubic-rami fractures.
19.Malgaigne's fracture:
A type of pelvis fracture in which there is a combination of
fractures, pubic rami anteriorly ánd sacro-iliac joint or ilium
posteriorly, on the same side.
20.Boxers' fracture:
It is a ventrally displaced fracture through the neck of the
5th metacarpal, occurs in boxers.
21.Side-swipefracture:
It is an elbow injury sustained when one's elbow.
projecting out of a car, is 'side swept by another vehicle. It
has a combination of fractures of the distal-end of the
humerus with fractures of proximal ends of radius and/or
ulna.It is also called baby-car fracture.
22.Mallet Finger:
A finger flexed at the DIP joint due to avulsion or rupture of
extensor tendon at the base of the distal phalanx.
23.Pathological fracture :
A fracture is termed pathological when it occurs
in a bone made weak by some disease.
Often, the bone breaks as a result of a trivial
trauma, or even spontaneously.
24.Bumper fracture: It is a comminuted, depressed
fracture of the lateral condyle of the tibia.
25.Pott's fracture: Bimalleolar ankle fracture.
26.Cotton's fracture: Trimalleolar ankle fracture
27.Massonaise's fracture:
It is a type of ankle fracture in which fracture of the neck of
the fibula occurs.
28.Pilon fracture:
It is a comminuted intra fracture of the distal-end of the
tibia.
29.Aviator's fracture: Fracture of neck of the talus.
30.Chopart fracture-dislocation:
A fracture-dislocation through inter-tarsal joints.
31.Jone's fracture:
Avulsion fracture of the base of the 5th metatarsal.
