Record 6 1992-09-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radiography (Medicine)
  • Musculoskeletal System
DEF

A comminuted fracture of the elbow sustained by severe direct trauma to the elbow protruding from the window of an automobile when the upper extremity is resting on the window ledge. The result is a markedly comminuted fracture of the distal humerus. In addition, the fracture may involve the shaft of the humerus, the olecranon, the shaft of the ulna, and extend to include the head of the radius and coronoid process.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radiographie (Médecine)
  • Appareil locomoteur (Médecine)
DEF

Fracture comminutive du coude par traumatisme direct sur le coude chez l'automobiliste conduisant le coude appuyé sur le rebord de la portière. Il en résulte une fracture comminutive de la portion distale de l'humérus pouvant impliquer la diaphyse humérale, l'olécrane, la diaphyse cubitale et même la tête radiale et l'apophyse coronoïde.

Record 7 1992-09-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radiography (Medicine)
  • Musculoskeletal System
DEF

Comminuted vertebral body fracture with a displaced anterior fragment. It is caused by an axial compression force with flexion of the mid-cervical spine. The same term sometimes is applied to an extension injury. It implies possible instability with posterior displacement of the vertebral body producing spinal cord damage.

OBS

A few authors have considered the flexion teardrop fracture and the burst fracture (caused by vertical compression) to be the same entity; however, the majority have recognized that their mechanisms of injury and pathophysiology differ, that their roentgen appearances, while sometimes similar, are distinctive, and that there is a significant difference between their neurologic complications.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radiographie (Médecine)
  • Appareil locomoteur (Médecine)
DEF

Fracture comminutive, caractéristique des traumatismes cervicaux, avec luxation postérieure du corps vertébral, résultant d’un mécanisme de compression verticale associée à une hyperflexion. Un fragment antérieur est repoussé en avant, prenant l'aspect d’une larme. [D'après EMAPP, 15825, A10, 1987, pp. 3, 4. ]

OBS

Les fractures corporéales comminutives résultant aussi d’un mécanisme de compression verticale, certains considèrent que ces fractures doivent être décrites comme une variante des fractures en larme. En fait, il faut les en distinguer sur la base de mécanismes différents et sur leur aspect radiologique dissemblable. [D’après EMAPP, 15825, A10, 1987, p. 7.]
