Types of fractures;
1. The health care professional is caring for a person who has a pathologic
fracture. The patient asks the professional to explain the condition. What
response by the professional is best?
a. The outer surface of the bone is disrupted, but the inside is intact.
b. A stable fracture where the cortex of the bone bends but doesn’t break.
c. A fracture that happens at the site of an abnormality already in that bone.
d. It was caused by the cumulative effects of stress on the bone over time.
ANS: C A pathologic fracture is a break at the site of a preexisting
abnormality, usually by force that would not fracture a normal bone. A

greenstick fracture is one in which the outer surface is disrupted but the
inside in intact. The stable fracture with a bent but not broken cortex is a

c. Insufficiency
d. Pathologic
ANS: A A stress fracture occurs in normal or abnormal bone that is subjected
to repeated stress, such as repetitive and strenuous activities that occur
during athletics. A greenstick fracture is one in which the outer surface of
the bone is disrupted but the interior is intact. Insufficiency fractures are
seen in osteoporosis and osteomalacia. A pathologic fracture is one that
occurs from force that would not usually break a bone.
There is usually an underlying lesion or abnormality at the site of the fracture.
3. Improper reduction or immobilization of a fractured femur can result in
which outcome after cast removal?
a. The muscles around the fracture site are weak.
b. The fracture requires 6 to 8 weeks of physical therapy.
c. The skin under the cast is dry and flaky.
d. The bone is not straight.
ANS: D Improper reduction or immobilization of a fractured bone may result
in nonunion, delayed union, or malunion. Malunion is the healing of a bone
in a nonanatomic position that could result in the bone not being straight.
The other options are normal occurrences.
4. What is the tear in a ligament referred to as?
a. Fracture
b. Strain
c. Disunion
d. Sprain
ANS: D Ligament tears are commonly known as sprains. A fracture is a
break in a bone. A strain is an injury to a tendon or muscle. Disunion is
when bones do not heal together properly after a fracture.
