|
Avulsion fracture |
Occurs when the insertion point of a tendon or ligament is fractured and distracted form the rest of the bone |

|
Corrective osteotomies |
Elective procedure in which the diaphysis or metaphysis of the bone is cut, realigned and stabilised until union occurs |
|
|
Cranial drawer test |
The abnormal movement elicited during a PE that is caused by the tibia sliding cranially in relationship to the femur in the absence of the cranial cruciate ligament |
|
|
Crepitation |
The grating feel or sound associated with manipulating a fractured bone or an arthritic joint |
|
|
Delayed union |
Fractures that heal more slowly than anticipated |
|
|
Direct bone union |
Bone formed without evidence of a callus |
|
|
Endochondral bone formation |
Bone formed on a cartilaginous precursor |
|
|
External coaptation |
Fracture fixation using casts or splints |
|
|
Greenstick fractures |
An incomplete fracture in which a portion of the cortex is intact |

|
Hemicerclage wire/Interfragmentary wire |
Wire that is placed through predrilled holes in the bone |
|
|
Indirect reduction |
The process of restoring fragment and limb alignment by distracting the major bone segments |
|
|
Internal fixation |
Fracture fixation using internal implants to secure the bone |
|
|
Intramedullary (IM) pins |
Implants that are positioned in the medullary canal of long bones |
|
|
Intramembranous bone formation |
Direct differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts so bone forms without a cartilaginous precursor |

Healed fractures in which anatomic bone alignment was not achieved or maintained during healing |
|
|
Neutralisation plate |
Support a reconstructed fracture |
|
|
Nonunion |
A fracture that has an arrested repair process that requires surgical intervention to create an environment conducive to bone healing |
|
|
Normograde placement |
The IM pin is started at one end of the bone, driven to the fracture area, and then seated at the other end of the bone |
|
|
Open fracture |
The fracture is exposed to the external atmosphere |
|
|
Open reduction |
Fracture repair performed after a surgical approach to the bone |
|
|
Ortolani maneuver |
The manipulation used to subluxate a dysplastic hip |

|
Procurvatum |
Cranial bowing of a bone |
|
|
Recurvatum |
Caudal bowing of abone |
|
|
Reduction |
Process of reconstruction or realigning a fractured bone |
|
|
Retrograde placement |
The IM pin is inserted at the FRACTURED area, driven proximally to exit the bone, the fracture is reduced and the pin is driven distally to seat at the end of the bone |
|
|
Staged disassembly |
Process of modifying a fixation frame at approximately 6 weeks after surgery to increase the loading on the healing fracture |
|
|
Subluxation |
Partial dislocation of a joint |
|
|
Valgus deformity |
Angulation of the distal portion of the limb laterally |
|
|
Varus deformity |
Angulation of the distal portion of the limb medially |
