An avulsion fracture is when you pull a ligament or tendon from a bone and a piece of that bone comes with it. It is not actually a "fracture". A fracture is a break.
an open fx is how it sounds. Typically it involves a complete fx of a bone with an associated skin injury(i.e. laceration, skin avulsion, etc...) that the bone fragment is exposed to the external environment. This is a surgical emergency because the risk of infection to the bone is extremely high. An avulsion fx is one in which a portion of the bone is pulled off due to a sudden tearing force by the ligament or muscle. These are typically seen in a younger adolescent populus that is involved in competitive sports with a high incidence in sprinters, soccer players, and tennis players. an open fx is how it sounds.
