Across
- 1. Transverse fracture that extends through the metacarpal neck; most commonly seen in the fifth metacarpal.
- 3. Transverse fracture of the distal radius in which the distal fragment is displaced posteriorly; an associated ulnar styloid fracture is seen in 50% to 60% of cases.
- 4. is a common chronic skeletal disease; it is characterized by bone destruction followed by a reparative process of overproduction of very dense yet soft bones that tend to fracture easily.
- 6. known as degenerative joint disease (DJD)
- 7. refers to reduction in the quantity of bone or atrophy of skeletal tissue.
- 8. Fracture of the base of the first metacarpal bone, extending into the carpometacarpal joint, complicated by subluxation with some posterior displacement.
- 9. Reverse of Colles fracture, or transverse fracture of the distal radius with the distal fragment displaced anteriorly.
Down
- 2. a hereditary disease marked by abnormally dense bone.
- 5. Fracture and dislocation of the posterior lip of the distal radius involving the wrist joint
