SKELETAL TRAUMA:

FX POSITION (Distal's relationship to Proximal)

  • Displacement
  • Angulation
  • Shortening
  • Rotation
  • Dislocation (complete loss of continuity of joint surfaces)
  • Subluxation (partial loss of continuity of joint surfaces)
  • Fracture-Dislocation (same bone with a fracture and a dislocation)
