linear fracture

Introduction

Introduction Linear fracture refers to the shape of the fracture line, generally no displacement, and is a relatively minor fracture. The common linear fracture is a linear fracture of the calvarial bone. It is a skull fracture that occurs under the external force of the skull and the bone, and there is no displacement. The incidence of traumatic brain injury is extremely high, often combined with intracranial Brain parenchymal damage.

Occurred under the action of external forces such as work and mineral injuries.

1, clinical manifestations

(1) Medical history: There is a clear history of head force.

(2) scalp hematoma: visible scalp contusion and scalp hematoma.

2, auxiliary inspection

(1) Laboratory examination with the scalp injury section.

(2) Imaging examination:

1) Skull X-ray film: The film includes a positive position and a lateral position.

2) Skull CT: The fracture site can be determined by excluding intracranial abnormalities and CT bone window.

Diagnosis

Differential diagnosis

Should be differentiated from various types of fractures:

1. Longitudinal fracture: Longitudinal fracture is the most common type of humeral fracture.

2. Oblique fracture: Oblique fracture is an unstable fracture, which is easy to cause displacement, which is dangerous. It must be absolutely braked and handled carefully. Unstable fracture refers to unstable bone fractures, such as oblique fractures, spiral fractures, and comminuted fractures.

3. Tongue type fracture of tongue fracture and calcaneal fracture: caused by multiple vertical violence.

4. Spiral fracture: Spiral fracture is a complete fracture. Complete fracture refers to the complete interruption of the integrity or continuity of the bone. After the fracture of the tubular bone, it forms a distant, nearly two or more fracture segments.
