Arthrodesis		A fracture whose ends are driven into each other. This is commonly seen in arm fractures in children and is sometimes known as a buckle fracture.
Artropathy		Intra-articular fracture of radial styloid, deviation of the wrist causing avulsion of the radial styloid
Arthroplasty		A fracture that is broken straight across the bone, is the result of a sharp, direct blow or may be a stress fracture caused, for example, by prolonged running.
Closed reduction (CR)		Intra-articular fracture of base of Thumb metacarpal, axial load along metacarpal in a partially flexed thumb
Open reduction		Radius shaft fracture with dislocation of distal radioulnar joint, blow to forearm
ORIF		An autoimmune disease that results in a chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder that may affect many tissues and organs
Reduce		Comminuted fracture of base of first metacarpal, axial load along the metacarpal causing splitting of the proximal articular surface
Traction		Creation of an artificial joint to correct ankylosis
Comminuted Fracture		Refers to the absence of healing in a fracture.
Delayed Union Fracture		Open reduction internal fixation
Greenstick Fracture		A chronic inflammatory condition caused by an autoimmune disease.
Malunion Fracture		Refers to the healing of a fracture with incorrect anatomical alignment.
Nonunion Fracture		A bone fracture that is taking an exceptionally long amount of time to heal.
Oblique Fracture		Any disease that affest a joint
Spiral Fracture		Fractures involving a growth plate
Transverse Fracture		Usually occurs in children, whose still soft bones splinter without breaking in two. Sudden force causes only the outer side of the bent bone to break.
Union Fracture		Wrench or twist the ligaments of (an ankle, wrist, or other joint) violently so as to cause pain and swelling but not dislocation.
Impacted Fracture		Fracture broken at an angle across the bone and is usually the result of a sharp angled blow to the bone.
Pathologic Fracture		Fracture of neck of 5th metacarpal, punching solid object
Stress Fracture		Caused by a disease that weakens the bones.
Open (Compound) Fracture		Tiny cracks in a bone caused by the repetitive application of force, often by overuse — such as repeatedly jumping up and down or running long distances. Can also arise from normal use of a bone that's been weakened by a condition such as osteoporosis.
Barton's Fracture		Distal radius fracture with dorsal angulation, impaction and radial drift, fall on outstretched hand
Bennett's Fracutre		To align two bone fragments in the correct position as treatment for a fracture
Boxer's Fracture		Reduction of fracture fragments through surgical intervention
Chauffeur's Fracture		Procedure in which bone fragments are reduced manually without surgical intervention
Colle's Fracture		Stiffening of a joint by operative means
Essex-Lopresti Fracture		A fracture in which broken bone fragments lacerate soft tissue and protrude through an open wound in the skin.
Galeazzi Fracture		Refers to healing of bone fracture fragments.
Hume Fracture		A dislocation of the elbow joint caused by a sudden pull on the extended pronated arm
Monteggia Fracture		A fracture that splinters and contains small bone particles, can shatter into more than two pieces. This fracture is usually caused by severe force, such as in a car accident.
Moore's Fracture		The process of putting a limb, bone, or group of muscles under tension with the use of weights and pulleys to align or immobilize the part
Rolando Fracture		Distal radius fracture with volar displacement, fall on outstretched hand with wrist in flexed position
Salter-Harris (Epiphyseal) Fracture		Proximal ulna fracture with dislocation of radial head, Blow to forearm
Smith's Fracutre		Refers to a fracture caused by a twisting force that creates an oblique fracture around and through the bone.
Skier's Thumb		A sprain or tear of the ulnar collateral ligament.
Sprain		Distal radius fracture involving the articular surface with dislocation of the radiocarpal joint,fall on outstretched hand
Nursemaid's elbow		Comminuted radial head fracture with interosseous membrane disruption and distal radioulnar joint subluxation, fall from height
Gout		Type of arthritis. It occurs when uric acid builds up in blood and causes inflammation in the joints.
Rheumatoid Arthritis		Distal radius fracture with ulnar dislocation and entrapment of styloid process under annular ligament
Lupus		Olecranon fracture with anterior dislocation of radial head
