APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Compression Fracture Also known as a crush fracture, this often takes place in the spine, where there is slightly softer bone tissue. This is where a compressed area, such as the spine, gets fractured. Conditions that weaken bones, such as osteoporosis, increase the likelihood of these fractures.

Detailed explanation-2: -Traction is used to immobilize fractures or dislocations displaced by muscle forces that cannot be adequately controlled with simple splints. The most common indications are vertical shear injuries of the pelvis, unstable hip dislocations, acetabular fractures, and fractures of the proximal femur or femoral shaft.

Detailed explanation-3: -Open (compound) fracture – the broken bone juts out through the skin, or a wound leads to the fracture site.
