- The fracture is classified according to the Salter-Harris classification as grades I-V (see below). (fibonaccimd.com)
Femoral growth1
- This fracture may be difficult to diagnose and may have very serious sequela including distal femoral growth abnormality. (fibonaccimd.com)
Uncommon2
- Overall, stress fractures are uncommon in the upper extremity. (arrsinpractice.org)
- Pain and swelling, especially a large knee effusion is not uncommon as the physis is intra-articular to the knee. (fibonaccimd.com)
Distal tibial2
- A triplane fracture of the distal tibia is generally sustained during adolescence and occurs before complete closure of the distal tibial physis (growth plate). (medscape.com)
- This young dog suffered a tricky distal tibial fracture with limited soft bone at the lower end of the tibia (shin bone). (wm-referrals.com)
Disruption1
- This improper healing is more likely to happen from physis disruption, in which compound fractures occur near or in the growth plates. (orthopaedic-surgery-md.com)
Shaft3
- A 34 year old mechanic suffers from a Gustilo and Anderson type IIIA fracture of the femoral shaft after being hit by a fork lift truck. (passmed.uk)
- It is difficult to treat shaft fractures of the distal third with retrograde nail insertion as the nail entry sites are too close to the fracture and the configuration of the nails does not produce sufficient stability. (aofoundation.org)
- At that time, the plate disappears and the head and shaft are united. (lecturio.com)
Knee3
- Ralph, a 5-month-old Yorkie pup, suffered a fracture of the proximal (top) end of his tibia (shin) bone just below his stifle (knee). (wm-referrals.com)
- Iliotibial band syndrome occurs when the iliotibial band and the lower outside portion of the thigh bone at the knee joint rub against each other. (christopherowensmd.com)
- In sports, it can occur when an athlete falls to the ground with a bent knee. (turabsyed.co.uk)
Pelvis1
- A much loved 13-year-old cat called Chalk presented to us at West Midlands Referrals after severe trauma, including a fracture/luxation on the right side of the pelvis and multiple fractures affecting the left side of the pelvis. (wm-referrals.com)
Periosteum3
- Posteriorly the periosteum is torn and displaced into the fracture at the growth plate (small arrows). (radsource.us)
- Salter-Harris 2 fracture of the distal femur with trapped periosteum. (radsource.us)
- Unless the periosteum is torn, displacement usually does not cannot occur (many locations do not have periosteum). (acrosspg.com)
