What fracture is called a closed fracture?
A simple fracture in which the bone does not penetrate the skin.
What is a simple bone fracture?
A simple bone fracture is a crack in the bone. Simple bone fractures do not penetrate the skin and are easily healed without a formal cast most of the time.
What is a fracture of bone breaks and fragments penetrate through the skin?
"compound"
What is an undisplaced fracture?
it is a fracture in which the two ends of the broken bone are separated from one another
What is the different between a green stick fracture and a compound fracture?
A green stick fracture is when the bone is not broken but is twisted or bent out of the normal position. A compound fracture is when the bone completely breaks and parts of the bone penetrate the soft tissue and go through the skin from the inside.
Is an Angulated fracture Displaced?
An angulated fracture may or may not be displaced. It refers to a fracture where the bone is bent at an angle, which can occur with or without a significant shift in the bone's alignment. Displacement specifically describes a fracture where the ends of the broken bone are not aligned, so an angulated fracture could be classified as displaced if the bone fragments are misaligned.
What does misalignmements mean?
A misalignment is when a bone is fracture and the two ends are not realigned completely straight. A bone callus will form and the fracture will heal, but the bone is not straight and may cause problems for the animal (or person) later on.
How do you treat a fracture?
aligning broken ends of bone, surgery, plaster cast, splint
Bone is broken cleanly the end does not penetrate the skin?
This type of fracture is called a closed fracture. It occurs when the bone breaks but there is no open wound on the skin. Treatment typically involves immobilizing the bone with a splint or cast while it heals. It is important to seek medical attention to ensure proper healing.
A fracture in the shaft of the bone would be a break in the what?
The straight part in the middle, away from both ends of the bone
What is the incorrect alignment of bone ends called?
The incorrect alignment of bone ends is called a "malalignment." This can happen as a result of a bone fracture or dislocation, where the bone ends do not meet or align properly. Treatment may involve realignment through manual manipulation or surgery.
When can bone growth stimulation not be used?
Bone growth stimulation cannot be used if the gap between the ends of the fracture is too large.
