1 The prothrombin or vitamin Kâdependent group includes factors II, VII, IX, and X. 2  The fibrinogen group includes factors I, V, VIII, and XIII. 3  They are the most labile of the factors and are consumed during the coagulation process.
It is important to classify the type of fracture, because some fractures are more difficult to treat than others. Intra-articular fractures, open fractures, comminuted fractures, and displaced fractures (when the broken pieces of bone do not line up straight).are more difficult to treat, for example. Sometimes, the other bone of the forearm (the ulna) is also broken. This is called a distal ulna fracture.
Traumatic fractures can be displaced or nondisplaced. If the fracture is displaced, the bone is broken in such a way that it has changed in position (malpositioned). Signs and symptoms of a traumatic fracture include: You may hear a sound at the time of the break. Pinpoint pain (pain at the place of impact) at the time the fracture occurs and perhaps for a few hours later, but often the pain goes away after several hours. Crooked or abnormal appearance of the toe.
