Der fracture full form

The skull can break, or fracture, if it is subject to a direct and forceful impact. The underlying cause of a skull fracture is a head trauma that is significant enough to break at least one bone. People with a skull fracture need treating as soon as possible. Skull • the affected bone or bones • how deep the fracture is • whether or not the fracture also affects the skin, blood vessels, sinuses, and mucous membranes Skull fractures can either be linear, which means that they have a single fracture line, or communicated, where multiple fracture lines are present. It is also possible to describe fractures as either open or closed. An open fracture, also called a compound fracture, is one where there is a break in the skin or an open wound near the fracture. In a closed fracture, the bone will not penetrate the skin. Doctors classify skull fractures by how severe they are and how much additional damage the injury has caused. The different types of skull fracture include: • Simple fracture: Where the skull fractures without damaging the skin. • Linear fracture: Where the fracture is one thin line with no additional lines splintering from it and no compression or distortion of the bones. • Depressed fracture: Where the fracture causes displacement of the bone toward the brain. • Compound fracture: Where there is a break in the skin and a splintering of the skull bone. Some skull fractures can cause bleeding or swelling in the brain, which can compress the underlying brain tiss...

Johannes Rammensee †, Francesca von Matthey †, Peter Biberthaler and Helen Abel * • Department of Trauma Surgery, Klinikum Rechts Der Isar, Technische Universität München, Munich, Germany Introduction: Although distal radius fractures (DRFs) are the most common fractures of the human body, the best treatment for every fracture type is still debatable. However, randomized controlled trials are difficult to perform. The quality of care can be determined primarily in the context of health care research using register studies. Registers enable standardized documentation of clinical observations over time. So far, no German register studies concerning DRFs exist, and therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a register with the help of patient-reported outcome measurements (PROM). Patients and Methods: All patients treated surgically at our hospital with a DRF between 2006 and 2016 were enrolled. Patient data such as epidemiological data, treatment, complications, insurance status, etc. were collected and the register was built up as an in-house fracture register with the help of PROM. The Munich Wrist Questionnaire (MWQ) was used as a PROM tool. Results: Of all 1,796 patients, 339 (19%) with a complete data set could be enrolled, 96 of the patients were male (28%), 243 were female (72%). Thirty-two percent were type A ( n = 110), 9% ( n = 31) were type B, and 58% ( n = 198) were type C fractures. The average follow-up was 66 ± 31 months. Complications occurred in 25 case...

Fractures of the distal end of the radius (DER) and fractures of both bones of the forearm are rather common upper limb injuries, which can be observed in an emergency. Medical management becomes rather complicated, when both these injuries occur simultaneously in the same upper limb. Here, we present a rare case of the fracture of both bones of the forearm along with ipsilateral distal end radius fracture in a 32-year-old male, following a high velocity trauma. This case was managed using a 2.7-mm volar plate and K wire for distal end radius (DER) fracture, as also 3.5-mm dynamic compression plate (DCP) for both forearm bone fractures, along with overlapping plates for two fractures of the radius. Six months post-surgery, adequate fracture union as well as good functional outcomes of wrist and forearm has been observed. The concomitant use of 2.7-mm volar LCP for DER fracture, 3.5-mm DCP for both forearm bone fractures, and overlapping plates for long-extended or segmental fractures of radius, provides a stable construct with homogeneous stress distribution. • Fernandez DL, Geissler WB.

The distal end of the radius is defined as the area three centimetres proximal to the radiocarpal joint, where the radius interfaces with the lunate and scaphoid bone of the wrist. A fracture of the distal radius is usually caused by falling on the outstretched arm For centuries, this fracture was classified as a dislocation of the wrist, but this description remains obscure. In 1814, it was redefined by an Irish surgeon and anatomist, Abraham Colles as a fracture and subsequently was given the name, Clinically Relevant Anatomy [ | ] The The wrist joint is formed distally by the proximal row of carpal bones (except the pisiform); • os scaphoid • os lunate • os triquete The wrist joint is formed proximally by the distal end of the radius a...
