Fracture Line Still Visible. The CT demonstrates a large tertius fracture. Joy English professor of orthopedics who says a growth plate fracture is common among children and teens and may not always be visible on an X-ray. This inflammatory stage ends approximately one week after the fracture. Fracture that is displaced more posteriorly but the posterior cortex remains intact.
This is visible as a lucent line black line. Stage 2 callus completely bridging the fracture. Fracture lines when viewed in the correct orientation tend to be blacker more lucent than other lines normally found in bones such as nutrient canals. This inflammatory stage ends approximately one week after the fracture. Experimental investigation Anecdotal stories and industry lore abound sometimes indicating that the surface is not de-graded at all. Fracture that is displaced more posteriorly but the posterior cortex remains intact.
Service fracture with various attributes visible as a result of fracture surface cleaning.
Spiral fracture example - Tibia. The overload zone ratchet marks beach marks corroded pearlite and nonmetallic particles can be clearly seen. Stage 2 callus completely bridging the fracture. On the lateral view and also on the AP- and Mortise views which will be shown in the paragraph on tertius fractures this fracture was not visible. The explanation is that on the lateral radiograph the fibula projects in the middle of the tibia. Three stages of callus formation were defined.
