fracture
a partial or complete break in a bone due to an excessive force that overcomes the bones potential to flex
1 of 26
compound(open) fracture
fracture breaks through skin, increased risk of infection
2 of 26
simple(closed) fracture
skin remains unbroken, minimise damage to soft tissue surrounding
3 of 26
incomplete fracture
a partial crack in the bone that doest completely separate the bone
4 of 26
complete fracture
a total break in the bone which separates the bone into one or more fragments
5 of 26
greenstick fracture
a splitting partial break in the bone resulting from a bending action
6 of 26
transverse, oblique and spiral fractures
a crack perpendicular, diagonal or twisted diagonal respectively across the length of bone
7 of 26
comminuted fracture
a crack producing multiple fragments of bone and a long recovery process
8 of 26
impacted fracture
a break caused by the ends of a bone being compressed together
9 of 26
avulsion fracture
a bone fragment detached at the site of connective tissue attachment
10 of 26
dislocation
the displacement of one bone from another out of their original position
11 of 26
subluxation
an incomplete or partial dislocation
12 of 26
contusion
bruise, caused by blood vessel rupturing
13 of 26
rupture
a complete tear of muscle, tendon or ligament
14 of 26
haematoma
localised congealed bleeding from the ruptured blood vessels
15 of 26
sprain
overstretch or tear in ligament that connects bone to bone
16 of 26
strain
overstretch or tear in the muscle or tendon that connects muscle to bone
17 of 26
abrasion
superficial damage to the skin caused by a scraping action against a surface
18 of 26
blister
friction forming operation of layers of skin where a pocket of fluid forms
19 of 26
concussion
a traumatic brain injury resulting in a disturbance of brain function
20 of 26
osteoarthritis
degeneration of bone articular cartilage from the bone surfaces within a joint, causing pain and restricted movement
21 of 26
stress fracture
tiny crack in the surface of a bone caused by overuse
22 of 26
Shin splints
chronic skin pain due to the inflammation of muscles and stress on the tension attachments to the surface of the tibia
23 of 26
tendinosis
the deterioration of a tendon in response to chronic overuse and repetitive strain
24 of 26
achilles tendinosis
pain and deterioration of the tendon in the heel due to overuse and repetitive strain
25 of 26
tennis elbow
tendon pain in the forearm due to chronic overuse and repetitive strain
