A torus is the convex portion of the upper part of the base of a Greek column and resembles the appearance of the cortical buckling seen in the "column" of bone which has been fractured in the pattern discussed in this article. So we should call this a translation fracture with anterior displacement. Plint AC, Perry JJ, Tsang JL. Notice superior labrum and attachment of the superior glenohumeral ligament. Notice red arrow indicating a small Perthes-lesion, which was not seen on the standard axial views. Dtsch Arztebl Int. 9. There is not much else happening here. Clavicular fracture. Minimally Invasive Orthopaedic Trauma. It was later modified and popularized by the Swiss orthopedic surgeon,Bernhard Georg Weber (1929-2002),in 1972 2. Both of these commonly used systems fail to systematically take into account the neurological status of the patient and the indication for MRI to determine the integrity of the posterior ligamentous complex.

Samora, Satbir Singh, Lynne Ruess. However labral tears may originate at the 3-6 o'clock position and subsequently extend superiorly. An Sist Sanit Navar. In some cases it can be difficult to decide whether there is a burst fracture with a torn PLC or distraction with a torn PLC and a compression fracture (figure). Look at the images. The Weber ankle fracture classification(or Danis-Weber classification) is a simple system for classification of lateral malleolar fractures, relating to the level of the fracture in relation to the ankle joint, specifically the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis. (2018) Orthopedic Traumatology. Alao D, Guly HR. It is a severe type of injury, which always involves the PLC. One of the spinous processes is in two pieces and the two pieces are widely separated. 8.

WebPubMed comprises more than 34 million citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. Subsequent modifications of the Denis classification have recognized that with an intact posterior ligamentous complex (PLC), two-column unstable injuries can be successfully treated non-surgically (3). Saunders. 2009;58 (10): E1-6. Practical points. Check for errors and try again. The teaching point is: pay careful attention to little pieces of bone. It should always be possible to trace the middle GHL upwards to the glenoid rim and downwards to the humerus. These descriptions may thus be misleading. Important aspects of evaluation include: occipital condyle integrity. Having three parts, this is a more unstable fracture and may be associated with ligamentous injury. May, David G. Disler.

Radiology reports should not only include whether or not a fracture is present but also comment on: In cases where the clavicle is thought to be fractured clinically, but where the radiograph is normal, it is advisable to treat patients as if a fracture is present; this is especially the case in children 2. WebPRIME Education is an accredited provider of continuing medical education. Check for errors and try again. Only the level with the highest score counts. In case of a distraction on the anterior side, however, the PLC may or may not be involved, i.e. This is merely a sign of trabecular impaction in an acute fracture. In severe pelvic fracture patients, 60.6% received transfusion, with a mean of more than 3.5 L. When severe pelvic injury was the only significant injury, more than 50% received transfusion, with a mean of 2.7 L. Overall, 16.6% of pelvic fracture patients required more than 2 L of blood in transfusion. A recess more than 3-5 mm is always abnormal and should be regarded as a SLAP-tear. Epidemiology. 9. The midshaft fracture dominance is due to two factors: firstly this is the thinnest part of the bone, Radiology reports should not only include whether or not a fracture is present but also comment on: For unstable distal clavicular fractures, a coracoclavicular screw fixation could be performed 6. The integrity of the posterior ligamentous complex plays an important role in the TLICS. Trimalleolar fracture. In many cases the axis of the supraspinatus tendon (arrowheads) is rotated more anteriorly compared to the axis of the muscle (yellow arrow). Once you realize that, it should not confuse you. The vertebral body fractures show hardly any compression. It is either loss of height of the anterior part of the vertebral body or disruption of the vertebral endplate. In the TLICS this means 3 points for the morphology and 3 points for the PLC, which makes a total of 6 points indicating the need for surgical stabilization. The MRI also shows disruption of the ligamentum flavum and a partial disruption of the interspinous ligament. (2014) Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma. 2003;10 (2): 71-5.

Assuming the neurological exam was normal, this patient would still get 7 points. The key point in this case is that you should not describe this morphology as burst - 2 points. Fractures of the ankle joint: investigation and treatment options. This is the severe variant of a compression fracture with higher risk of neurologic deficits. In the absence of a neurologic deficit, PLC integrity should be confirmed at MR imaging, especially if conservative management of a burst fracture is planned (3). In many cases, however, there is no good correlation with the necessity for surgery. These images illustrate the differences between an sublabral recess and a SLAP-tear. Indian J Orthop. On a MR-arthtrogram a sublabral foramen should not be confused with a sublabral recess or SLAP-tear, which are also located in this region. Skeletal trauma, basic science, management, and reconstruction. These are typical findings in translation-rotation fractures. The main feature is posterior distraction with horizontal fractures of posterior elements (red arrow), Avulsion of a spinous process (yellow arrow), The morphology is of a vertebral fracture with retropulsion of a fragment, i.e. These fractures occur when a varus force is applied to the extended elbow.
