1
Q

apposition

A

describes the closeness of the bony contact at the frature site
make sure to describe the offset of the distal in relation to the proximal

2
Q

fracture frangments not perfectly apposed are said to be ____

A

offset

3
Q

the direction of offset is stated in terms of..

displacement of the distal fragment relative to proximal

4
Q

alignment

A

describes the position of the distal fragment in relation to the proximal in the longitudinal axis
deals primarily with the direction and degree of angulation

5
Q

rotation

produced by a twisting force along the longitudinal axis
more easily determined by clinical evaluation than radiographic
ideally should include the joints above and below the fracture
