  • Early complications - occurring in the initial few days after the fracture. (wikipedia.org)
  • Late complications - occurring a long time after the fracture. (wikipedia.org)
  • Although most fractures of the proximal portion of the fifth metatarsal respond well to appropriate management, delayed union, muscle atrophy and chronic pain may be long-term complications. (aafp.org)
  • The operation time, hospitalization days, non-weight-bearing time of the affected limb, clinical healing time of fracture, incidence of complications, visual analogue scale (VAS) before and 1 month after operation, and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society(AOFAS) score of ankle joint before and 1 year after operation were compared between the two groups. (bvsalud.org)
  • The treatment of pilon fractures are depending on several aspects where this may lead to complications. (enpress-publisher.com)
  • Care for complications of surgical treatment for fracture repairs during the healing or recovery phase should be coded with the appropriate complication codes. (icdlist.com)
  • Care of complications of fractures, such as malunion and nonunion, should be reported with the appropriate 7th character for subsequent care with nonunion (K, M, N,) or subsequent care with malunion (P, Q, R). (icdlist.com)
Different types of fractures1
Compound fractures2
  • Open fractures are also sometimes known as "compound fractures" and offer an increased risk of dangerous infection. (yourfootdoc.com)
  • Closed fractures spare surrounding tissue, while compound fractures break through the skin, raising infection risks. (corpusfeet.com)
Malleolar fracture1
  • The SER IV fracture has a medial component: either a medial malleolar fracture or a deltoid rupture. (ankleinfo.net)
Stability to the fracture site1
  • The replacement of hematoma by this structural network adds stability to the fracture site. (medscape.com)
Fibular1
  • The fibular fracture may require a bridging technique or a nail. (ankleinfo.net)
Severity5
  • The strength of the force determines the severity of the fracture. (healthline.com)
  • Calcaneus fractures can vary in location, severity and type including stress fracture, displaced fracture, un-displaced fracture, comminuted fracture etc. (physioadvisor.com.au)
  • The orthopedic specialist will advise the patient as to which management is most appropriate based on a number of factors, including the type, location and severity of the fracture. (physioadvisor.com.au)
  • Based on the severity of the fracture, your doctor recommends the plan of treatment. (morelandsurgery.com)
  • The treatment plan for a stress fracture depends on the severity of the fracture. (healthline.com)
Traumatic2
  • A calcaneus fracture typically occurs due to traumatic weight bearing forces such as a landing on the heel bone from a height. (physioadvisor.com.au)
  • Traumatic fractures are coded using the appropriate 7th character for initial encounter (A, B, C) for each encounter where the patient is receiving active treatment for the fracture. (icdlist.com)
Occurs4
  • A bone fracture, such as an ankle fracture, occurs when a bone cracks or breaks due to high-force impact or stress. (corpusfeet.com)
  • This commonly occurs on the external region of the ankle where three ligaments are present. (epainassist.com)
  • A greenstick fracture occurs because the bone is not as brittle as it would be in an adult, and thus does not completely fracture, but rather exhibits bowing without complete disruption of the bone's cortex. (findmeacure.com)
  • Disruption of the endosteal and periosteal blood supply occurs with the initial trauma, and maintaining adequate blood supply to the fracture site is essential for healing. (medscape.com)
Severe2
Surgery5
Deformity1
  • Secondary survey for apparent intoxication and ankle deformity. (emory.edu)
Pelvic1
  • Pelvic fractures must be assessed for both stability and acetabular involvement. (radiologykey.com)
Trimalleolar1
  • METHODS: The clinical data of 118 patients with trimalleolar fractures admitted from December 2010 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. (bvsalud.org)
Trauma and Fracture Care1
  • While many fractures can be treated by general orthopedic surgeons, some can benefit from fracture specialists such as Newport Orthopedic Institute's trauma and fracture care team. (newportortho.com)
Talar4
  • [ 11 ] Many of these occult fractures involve the talar dome. (medscape.com)
  • In 1970, Hawkins proposed a very useful classification of talar neck fractures. (faoj.org)
  • Group I undisplaced fractures of talar neck are usually not complicated with avascular necrosis. (faoj.org)

Involve4
  • While all fractures involve a break in the bone , the properties of fractures can vary significantly. (yourfootdoc.com)
  • Nondisplaced tuberosity fractures are usually treated conservatively, but orthopedic referral is indicated for fractures that are comminuted or displaced, fractures that involve more than 30 percent of the cubo-metatarsal articulation surface and fractures with delayed union. (aafp.org)
  • For those calcaneus fractures that are not displaced, treatment may involve the use of crutches and/or a protective boot or brace, or, plaster cast immobilization and the use of crutches, followed by the use of a protective boot or brace for a number of weeks. (physioadvisor.com.au)
  • Fractures often involve the arm , clavicle, leg and fibula . (goshenhealth.com)
Dislocations2
  • 7] Hawkins series acknowledged avascular necrosis in 42 per cent of his Group-II fracture-dislocations, but union of the fracture took place in all. (faoj.org)
  • This method is used for fractures and dislocations that cannot be treated by casting. (drcollinmesserly.com)
Surgical4
  • Some studies have directly compared the outcome of conservative and surgical treatment, however it is difficult to establish a sound conclusion due to flaws in study designs, smaller no of patients and variation in fracture patterns. (ankleinfo.net)
  • showed there was insufficient evidence to justify surgical management of type B ankle fractures. (ankleinfo.net)
  • To achieve this, fracture reduction and immobilization are achieved by either a non-operative or surgical method. (drcollinmesserly.com)
  • This is a surgical procedure in which the fracture site is exposed while a reduction of the fracture is done. (drcollinmesserly.com)
Reduction1
Instability1
  • Difficulty of ambulation, age over 65 years old, deteriorated baseline state and instability of the fracture were the most frequently considered factors. (bioscientifica.com)
Lower Leg1
  • The open fracture designations in the assignment of the 7th character for fractures of the forearm, femur and lower leg, including ankle are based on the Gustilo open fracture classification. (icdlist.com)
Calcaneus9
Overuse2
  • Overuse can also lead to more significant fractures, especially with an underlying abnormality or a final intense trauma. (yourfootdoc.com)
  • Causes of ankle fractures include trauma, overuse, and medical conditions. (corpusfeet.com)
Tibial plafond4

Treatment of the fracture1
  • Fractures are coded using the appropriate 7th character for subsequent care for encounters after the patient has completed active treatment of the fracture and is receiving routine care for the fracture during the healing or recovery phase. (icdlist.com)
ORIF1
  • The guidance-assisted technique is a convenient approach that can effectively improve the accuracy of sustentacular screw placement during the ORIF of calcaneal fractures. (biomedcentral.com)
