  1. 2. A ________ fracture occurs when the bone is crushed, typically occurring in the bones of the spine.
  2. 4. A _______ fracture occurs when the fracture curves around the bone, typically from a twisting injury.
  3. 9. A Salter Harris Type ___ fracture describes a fracture that extends through the growth plate and into the metaphysis of the bone.
  4. 10. A Salter Harris Type ___ fracture describes a intra-articular fracture that involves the epiphysis, physis and metaphysis. An example is a triplane fracture in the ankle.
  5. 11. The name of the classification system of growth plate of physeal injuries that is based on the fracture pattern
  6. 12. A Salter Harris Type ___ fracture describes a intra-articular fracture that passes from the joint space into the growth plate/physis and epiphysis.
  7. 13. A ____ fracture occurs in the midfoot region and involves broken bones as well as torn ligaments. Named after the French surgeon who first observed these injuries in the 1800s in calvary soldiers.
  8. 16. A ____fracture is a fracture of the proximal ulna with an associated dislocation of the radial head.
  9. 17. A _____ fracture occurs when the bone is broken in three or more pieces or fragments.
Down
  1. 1. A ____fracture describes small cracks in the bone that develop over time due to repetitive movements or overuse. May also occur in adults with osteoporosis.
  2. 3. A ____ fracture is a fracture of the distal humerus above the elbow joint. These fractures often require surgical treatment with the use of pins to hold the fracture in place while healing.
  3. 5. A ___fracture occurs when the fracture is incomplete, one side of the bon breaks and the opposite side bends. Occurs in children due to the increased flexibility of bones.
  4. 6. A _____ fracture is a fracture of the 5th metacarpal, named as it typically occurs when punching an object.
  5. 7. Also called a torus fracture, a ___fracture occurs when force is put on one end of the bone and causes the bone to bulge on either side, common with falling onto outstretched arms.
  6. 8. A Salter Harris Type ___ fracture describes a growth plate injury that extends through the physis or within the growth plate. Commonly appears as widening of the growth plate on xrays.
  7. 9. A ____ fracture us a fracture of the distal phalanx that also include soft-tissue injury. These may include avulsion of the nail plate.
  8. 10. A Salter Harris Type ___ fracture describes a fracture that involves crushing or compression of the growth plate.
  9. 11. A ______ fracture is the fracture of one of the small bones in the wrist below the base of the thumb. This bone has poor blood supply and can take a long time to heal or may require surgery.
  10. 14. A ____fracture, also called a compound fracture, occurs when the fractured bone pokes through the skin. Requires careful debridement and antibiotics to prevent infection.
  11. 15. An _____fracture occurs when a piece of bone is pulled off by an attached ligament or tendon. Commonly seen in athletes.
