Open fracture - ANS bone fracture that breaks through the skin
closed fracture - ANS bone fracture that does not break through the skin
transverse fracture - ANS complete fracture that is straight across the bone at right angles to
the long axis of the bone
linear fracture - ANS the fracture is parallel to the long axis of the bone
oblique, nondisplaced fracture - ANS the bone is broken at an angle, but the edges are still
together
oblique, displaced fracture - ANS the bone is broken at an angle, and the edges are separated
spiral fracture - ANS a fracture in which the bone has been twisted apart
greenstick fracture - ANS bending and incomplete break of a bone, most often seen in
children

, comminuted fracture - ANS fracture in which the bone is splintered or crushed, due to
impact
fracture s/sx - ANS swelling, tenderness, pain at site, decreased ROM, altered sensation,
crepitus, deformity
fracture causes - ANS trauma, falls, accident, disease, cancer, malnutrition
fracture healing stages - ANS 1. fracture hematoma
2. fibrocartilagnious callus formation
3. bony callus hematoma
4. bone remodeling
neurovascular assessment - ANS pain: outer layer of bone is very sensitive w/ nerves
pulse: compare w/ unaffected side
pallor: color change
paresthesia: numbness and tingling
paralysis: unable to function
pressure: due to swelling
CT scan & X ray - ANS sees bone, better assessment of extent of infection
MRI scan - ANS sees bone marrow and soft tissue
biopsy - ANS used to identify causative agent, need to do for antibiotics
BMD - ANS bone mineral density, DEXA or DXA
