A T5 bone fracture refers to a break in the fifth thoracic vertebra, located in the upper and mid-back region of the spine. This type of fracture can occur due to trauma, such as a fall or car accident, and may result in pain, reduced mobility, and potential neurological issues if the spinal cord is affected. Treatment often includes pain management, physical therapy, and, in some cases, surgical intervention to stabilize the spine. It's essential for individuals with a T5 fracture to receive appropriate medical evaluation and care.
A broken bone is often called a "fracture" or "bone fracture". Some examples from the Wikipedia entry on bone fracture. * Complete Fracture- A fracture in which bone fragments separate completely. * Incomplete Fracture- A fracture in which the bone fragments are still partially joined. * Linear Fracture- A fracture that is parallel to the bone's long axis. * Transverse Fracture- A fracture that is at a right angle to the bone's long axis. * Oblique Fracture- A fracture that is diagonal to a bone's long axis. * Compression Fracture-A fracture that usually occurs in the vertebrae. * Spiral Fracture- A fracture where at least one part of the bone has been twisted. * Comminuted Fracture- A fracture causing many fragments. * Compacted Fracture- A fracture caused when bone fragments are driven into each other * Open Fracture- A fracture when the bone reaches the skin * Bug fracture- A fracture when the bone is in place, but the fracture has the appearance of a crushed insect.
a type of bone fracture producing many bone fragments is?
A bone fracture where the bone fragments are driven into each other is called a "Compacted Fracture".
A fracture for a broken bone. If the bone is broken badly enough to stick out through the skin it is called a compound fracture.
When a bone breaks, it is called a fracture.
transverse fracture
When a bone is fractured in such a manner that the bone fragments, it is typically called a comminuted bone fracture.
Fracture and/or stress fracture. Stress Fracture implies that it is just a crack in the bone, whereas a fracture implies a complete breakage or separation of the bone.
When a bone fracture protrudes through the skin it is classified as an open fracture. With an open fracture there is a risk of deep bone infection.
A compound fracture is when a bone protrudes through the skin.
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.
longitudinal fracture
