Stable: intact posteromedial buttress; Unstable: posteromedial comminution, reverse obliquity, subtrochanteric extension. Stable → DHS; Unstable → cephalomedullary nail/fixed-angle...
Trauma | 👁 3 | 2 weeks agoTypes I–V: nondisplaced to highly comminuted/segmental by number/configuration of fragments. Most require IM nailing; higher types have longer healing and alignment challenges.
Trauma | 👁 3 | 2 weeks agoI: inferior to fovea (non–weight-bearing); II: superior to fovea (weight-bearing). III: I/II with femoral neck fracture; IV: I/II with acetabular fracture. II–IV worse prognosis; u...
Trauma | 👁 4 | 2 weeks ago0: none; I: small butterfly; II: larger butterfly with ≥50% cortical contact. III:
Trauma | 👁 2 | 2 weeks agoTypes I–VIII: extra- vs intra-articular, DRUJ involvement, and ulnar styloid fracture. Intra-articular (III–VIII) have higher arthritis risk; often require ORIF.
Trauma | 👁 4 | 2 weeks agoA: acute stable (A1 tubercle, A2 nondisplaced waist). B: acute unstable (B1 distal oblique, B2 displaced waist, B3 proximal pole, B4 comminuted, B5 perilunate). C: delayed union; D...
Trauma | 👁 4 | 2 weeks agoI: incomplete/valgus impacted; II: complete, nondisplaced. III: complete, partially displaced (varus); IV: complete, fully displaced. I–II stable → fixation; III–IV unstable → arth...
Trauma | 👁 3 | 2 weeks agoRadial head and neck fractures are common elbow injuries caused most often by a fall on an outstretched hand that transmits axial force through the forearm to the elbow. In adults,...
Trauma | 👁 22 | 2 weeks agoType I: nondisplaced (A noncomminuted / B comminuted). Type II: displaced but stable (A/B). Type III: displaced and unstable (A/B). Type I conservative; II–III usually require fixa...
Trauma | 👁 6 | 2 weeks agoI: tip avulsion; II: 50% height. II–III indicate elbow instability, commonly part of terrible triad → fixation required.
Trauma | 👁 6 | 2 weeks agoI: anterior radial head dislocation (ulna angulated anterior). II: posterior; III: lateral; IV: both bones fractured with radial head dislocation. ORIF ulna restores radial head re...
Trauma | 👁 5 | 2 weeks agoDistal radial shaft fracture with distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) disruption. Unstable pattern: ORIF radius and stabilize DRUJ.
