- Longitudinal Fractures. Structure of the break: These fractures are usually quite long in length and travel along the axis of the bone they are in. As these fractures always follow the axis of the bone they are always non-displaced fractures.

Practice Essentials Transverse fractures divide the acetabulum into top and bottom halves, as seen on the lateral view of the acetabulum. The transverse fracture with a posterior wall fracture is a common fracture that incorporates the features of transverse and posterior wall elementary fractures (see the images below).

fracture fissure fracture a crack extending from a surface into, but not through, a long bone. greenstick fracture one in which one side of a bone is broken and the other is bent, most commonly seen in children. See illustration. impacted fracture fracture in which one fragment is firmly driven into the other. incomplete fracture one that does not involve the complete cross section of the bone.

Longitudinal waveupdate definition - Longitudinal_wave. Longitudinal wave. Longitudinal waves, also known as l-waves, are waves that have the same direction of vibration as their direction of travel, which means that the movement of the medium is in the same direction as or the opposite direction to the motion of the wave.

Fractures For example, a linear fracture of the arm bone could extend the entire length of the bone. Oblique and transverse fractures differ in that an oblique fracture crosses a bone at approximately a 45° angle to the bone's axis. In contrast, a transverse fracture crosses a bone's axis at a 90° angle.

Transverse Process Fracture A transverse process is a bony protrusion from the back of a vertebrae bone in the spine. There is one on each side of every vertebrae in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. Transverse process fracture of the spine include sudden pain in the back at the time of injury.

Broken bone: Types of fractures, symptoms and prevention Greenstick fracture: an incomplete fracture in which the bone is bent. This type of fracture occurs most often in children. Transverse fracture: a fracture at a right angle to the bone's axis. Oblique fracture: a fracture in which the break is at an angle to the bone’s axis. Comminuted fracture: a fracture in which the bone fragments into several pieces.

Transverse and Longitudinal Waves: What's the Difference? A longitudinal wave is one in which the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave motion. A longitudinal wave has compressions and rarefactions. Compressions are when the wave is compressed and rarefactions are when the wave is spread apart. Here let me explain... Longitudinal Wave. A transverse wave is a wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is traveling.

Pathologic fracture Pathological fractures present as a chalkstick fracture in long bones, and appear as a transverse fractures nearly 90 degrees to the long axis of the bone. In a pathological compression fracture of a spinal vertebra fractures will commonly appear to collapse the entire body of vertebra.

- Transverse Fracture. A fracture in which the break is across the bone, at a right angle to the long axis of the bone. Adjoining figure would illustrate. Oblique Fracture. Instead of break being at right angle, it goes in oblique direction to the long axis of the bone.The fracture is confined to one plane.

fracture fracture. [frak′chər]. Etymology: L, frangere, to break. a traumatic injury to a bone in which the continuity of the bone tissue is broken. A fracture is classified by the bone involved, the part of that bone, and the nature of the break, such as a comminuted fracture of the head of the tibia. See also specific types of fractures.

Longitudinal wave Mechanical longitudinal waves are also called compressional waves or compression waves, because they produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium. The other main type of wave is the transverse wave, in which the displacements of the medium are at right angles to the direction of propagation.ongitudinal waves include sound waves (vibrations in pressure, particle of displacement, and particle velocity propagated in an elastic medium) and seismic P-waves (created by earthquakes and explosions). In longitudinal waves, the displacement of the medium is parallel to the propagation of the wave.

What is a fracture? Persistent bone or bone marrow infection-if there is a break in the skin, as may happen with a compound fracture, bacteria can get in and infect the bone or bone marrow, which can become a persistent infection (osteomyelitis).Patients may need to be hospitalized and treated with antibiotics. Oblique fracture-A fracture that is diagonal to a bone's long axis. 2  Pathological fracture-when an underlying disease or condition has already weakened the bone, resulting in a fracture (bone fracture caused by an underlying disease/condition that weakened the bone).

Bone fracture Linear fracture: A fracture that is parallel to the bone's long axis. Transverse fracture: A fracture that is at a right angle to the bone's long axis. Oblique fracture: A fracture that is diagonal to a bone's long axis (more than 30°) Spiral fracture: A fracture where at least one part of the bone has been twisted.

- 1 A transverse fracture is when the broken piece of bone is at a right angle to the bone's axis. 2  An oblique fracture is when the break has a curved or sloped pattern.  A comminuted fracture is when the bone breaks into several pieces.

- Longitudinal Magnetization. (Mz) The component of the net magnetization vector in the direction of the static magnetic field (z). After RF excitation, this vector returns to its equilibrium value at a rate characterized by the time constant T1.

- 1 An oblique fracture is when the break has a curved or sloped pattern. 2  A comminuted fracture is when the bone breaks into several pieces.  A buckled fracture, also known as an impacted fracture, is one whose ends are driven into each other.

Stress fracture Stress fracture. This article is about stress fractures in bones. For stress fractures in engineering, see Fracture and Fatigue (material). Stress fracture, also known as a hairline fracture, or fissure fracture, is a fatigue-induced fracture of the bone caused by repeated stress over time. Instead of resulting from a single severe impact, stress fractures are the result of accumulated trauma from repeated submaximal loading, such as running or jumping.

What is the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves? Longitudinal waves are those waves in which the particles of the medium move parallel to the propagation of the wave. For example, sound waves are transverse waves.Sound needs a medium to travel. Lets suppose that this medium is air.

Broken Bone (Types of Bone Fractures) 1 Transverse: the fracture travels across the bone. 2  Oblique: the fracture occurs at an angle. 3  Spiral: –the fracture spirals or extends down the length of the bone. 4  Comminuted: the fracture has more than two parts, multiple fragments are present.

- This is an important difference from a closed fracture because with an open fracture there is a risk of a deep bone infection. Some fracture types are: 1  A Greenstick fracture is an incomplete fracture in which the bone is bent. 2  This type occurs most often in children. 3  A transverse fracture is when the broken piece of bone is at a right angle to the bone's axis.

- A fracture is a break in a bone. Most involve a single, significant force applied to normal bone. In a closed fracture, the overlying skin is intact. In an open fracture, the overlying skin is disrupted and the broken bone is in communication with the environment. Pathologic fractures occur when mild or minimal force fractures an area of bone weakened by a disorder (eg, osteoporosis, cancer, infection, bone cyst). When the disorder is osteoporosis, they are often called insufficiency or fragility fractures.

- Longitudinal Fractures. Structure of the break: These fractures are usually quite long in length and travel along the axis of the bone they are in. As these fractures always follow the axis of the bone they are always non-displaced fractures. The fracture may divide in to two or more lines of fracture.

Transverse Process Fracture Transverse process fracture of the spine include sudden pain in the back at the time of injury. There will be decreased range of motion of the affected area of the spine and pain when trying to bend or twist the affected area.In particular there may be tenderness and swelling around the site of the fracture.ransverse process fracture explained. A transverse process fracture is quite a rare injury. It usually results from a sudden extreme twisting or side bending movement. Occasionally it may be due to a direct impact to the process itself, although they are pretty well covered by muscle to this is not common.
