The last minute things!!!

Closed fracture

fracture that doesn’t break the skin.

Displaced fracture

serious fracture where bones are not in anatomic alignment.

Nondisplaced fracture

fracture where bone maintains its natural allignment

Open fracture

serious, broken bone penetrates through the skin.

Projection

path of the central ray as it exits the x-ray tube and goes through the patient to the IR.

Intermembranous

Bones that develop from fibrous membrane in the embryo. Produces flat bones. Ex: bones in skull. Not joined at birth.

Endochondrial ossification

Develop from hyaline cartilage in the embryo and produce short, irregular, and long bones. Happens during primary and secondary ossification.

Primary ossification

Begins before birth and forms entire bulk of the short and irregular bones.

Secondary ossification

After birth ends of bones called epiphysis join together. Epiphyseal plate forms.

21 years

Full ossification is around.

Arthrology

Study of the joints, or articulations between bones.

Synarthroses

immoveable joint

Amphiarhroses

slightly moveable joint.

Diarthroses

freely moveable joint.

Structural classification

based on the types of tissues that unite or bind articulating bones.

Left semiprone oblique position

recumbent position with the patient lying on the left anterior side with left extended and right knee and thigh partially flexed.

Lithotomy position

Supine position with knees and hip flexed and thighs abducted and rotated externally, supported by ankle or knee supports.

View

used to describe the body part at seen by the IR.

Hyperextension
