Produced by compression of porous bone; appears as a
raised or bulging
projection at the fracture site; occurs in the most
porous portion of the
bone; more common in young children…. Buckle
2. The process of separating opposing bone to
encourage regeneration… Distraction
of new bone in the created space; may be used when
limbs are of
unequal length and new bone is needed to elongate the
shorter limb…. Distraction
3. Occurs when the bone is bent but not broken; a
child’s flexible bone,,,,, Plastic deformation
can be bent 45 degrees or more before breaking.
4. Occurs when a bone is angulated beyond the limits
of bending, one
side bending and the other side breaking….h
5. Used when significant pull must be applied to
achieve realignment
and immobilization; pins or wires may be used to
ensure that the
stress is placed on the bone rather than on the
surrounding tissue…. Skeletal traction
6. Fractures in which small fragments of bone break off
from the fractured
shaft and lie in the surrounding tissue….e
7. A fracture in which bone fragments cause damage to
other organs or
tissues such as the lung or bladder…. d
8. Fracture that divides the bone fragments.
9. Applied when there are minimal displacements and
little muscle
spasticity; contraindicated when there is skin
damage… Skin traction
10. Fracture with an open wound through which the
bone is protruding or
has protruded. C
11. Used in uncomplicated arm or leg fractures; used to
realign bone fragments
for immediate cast application…l
12. Produced by attaching weight to the distal bone
fragment…J
13. Black and blue discoloration; the escape of blood
into the tissues.
14. Backward force; provided by the body’s weight.
15. A fracture that does not produce a break in the skin.
