E.g.: The left eye is medial to the left ear
Medial:
Away from the midline
E.g.: The right ear is lateral to the right eye.

Towards the feet
E.g.: The knees are caudal to the shoulders.
Caudal:
Towards the body. Generally used for the limbs.
E.g.: The elbow is proximal to the hand
Proximal:

Types of Fractures
![Page 6: Musculoskeletal Trauma: An Introduction 1. Glossary of Muskuloskeletal Terms 2. Types of Fractures 3. Basic Limb Anatomy 4. Imaging Classifications Information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/5513de8a55034679748b532a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Comminuted Fracture
• A fracture in which bone is broken, splintered or crushed into a number of pieces.
• Easy to diagnose with an X-ray
![Page 7: Musculoskeletal Trauma: An Introduction 1. Glossary of Muskuloskeletal Terms 2. Types of Fractures 3. Basic Limb Anatomy 4. Imaging Classifications Information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/5513de8a55034679748b532a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Open Fracture
• Also called Compound fracture• Bone penetrates the skin• Needs immediate attention & often
surgery• Caused by high-energy injuries such as slip & falls, motor vehicle accidents, workplace or sports injuries
![Page 8: Musculoskeletal Trauma: An Introduction 1. Glossary of Muskuloskeletal Terms 2. Types of Fractures 3. Basic Limb Anatomy 4. Imaging Classifications Information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/5513de8a55034679748b532a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Closed Fracture
• A broken bone that does not penetrate skin
• Also called a Simple fracture
• May not need surgery
![Page 9: Musculoskeletal Trauma: An Introduction 1. Glossary of Muskuloskeletal Terms 2. Types of Fractures 3. Basic Limb Anatomy 4. Imaging Classifications Information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/5513de8a55034679748b532a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Multiple Fracture
• the fracture of several bones at one time or from the same injury
![Page 10: Musculoskeletal Trauma: An Introduction 1. Glossary of Muskuloskeletal Terms 2. Types of Fractures 3. Basic Limb Anatomy 4. Imaging Classifications Information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/5513de8a55034679748b532a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Spiral Fracture
• Also called a Torsion fracture
• At least one part of the bone has been twisted apart
![Page 11: Musculoskeletal Trauma: An Introduction 1. Glossary of Muskuloskeletal Terms 2. Types of Fractures 3. Basic Limb Anatomy 4. Imaging Classifications Information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/5513de8a55034679748b532a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Greenstick Fracture
• Classified as an incomplete break• One side of the fracture is broken & the
other side is bent• Can take a long time to heal because they tend to occur in the middle, slower growing parts
of bone.

(Limb) Anatomy

Imaging Classifications
• X-ray (plain film, general radiography)• Ultrasound (US)• Computed Tomography (CT)• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI, MR)• Nuclear Medicine (Nucs, Bone Scan)
![Page 14: Musculoskeletal Trauma: An Introduction 1. Glossary of Muskuloskeletal Terms 2. Types of Fractures 3. Basic Limb Anatomy 4. Imaging Classifications Information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/5513de8a55034679748b532a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
X-ray
• Radiation sent through pt to film• First line study for most medical issues• Excellent for fractures/bony detail• Very limited for soft tissues (ligaments,
tendons, muscles)• Only a screening tool in the spine
![Page 15: Musculoskeletal Trauma: An Introduction 1. Glossary of Muskuloskeletal Terms 2. Types of Fractures 3. Basic Limb Anatomy 4. Imaging Classifications Information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/5513de8a55034679748b532a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
X-ray Report
A lateral view of the ankle is provided in this image. All bone and joint markings are within normal limits.
There is no evidence of fracture or dislocation and soft tissue planes are unremarkable.

Ultrasound
• Sound waves sent to pt and bounce back• No radiation• Highly effective with definite role • Limited• Soft tissues• Very poor for bony and intra-articular • Operator dependant
• MSK work requires a specialist (vital!)

Ultrasound of a Shoulder
![Page 18: Musculoskeletal Trauma: An Introduction 1. Glossary of Muskuloskeletal Terms 2. Types of Fractures 3. Basic Limb Anatomy 4. Imaging Classifications Information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/5513de8a55034679748b532a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Computed Tomography (CT)
• Fancy X-ray
• Excellent for bony structural anatomy in the setting of complicated fracture
• Less effective than MR for soft tissues and active processes
• High radiation Dose
![Page 19: Musculoskeletal Trauma: An Introduction 1. Glossary of Muskuloskeletal Terms 2. Types of Fractures 3. Basic Limb Anatomy 4. Imaging Classifications Information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/5513de8a55034679748b532a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
• a non-invasive imaging technique that does not involve exposure to ionizing radiation
• proven valuable in diagnosing a broad range of conditions, including cancer, heart disease and muscular and bone abnormalities.
• MRI typically costs more and may take more time to perform than other imaging modalities

Nuclear Medicine (Nucs, Bone Scan)
• procedures involves the injection of a radioactive phosphate tracer into a vein
• Used to detect fracture or broken bones, causes of back pain, detect or follow incidence of cancer that spreads to the bones
• More detailed than a plain x-ray
