EPONYMOUS OF FRACTURE

A
 Aviator’s Fracture : a coronal-plane fracture of the neck of the talus resulting from
forced dorsiflexion of ankle.

 Bankart’s Fracture : an injury of the anterior (inferior) glenoid labrum of shoulder

due to anterior shoulder dislocation

 Bumper Fracture : compression fracture of lateral tibial plateau

 Chance Fracture : horizontal fracture of vertebral body

 Chauffeur’s Fracture : intra-articular fracture of radial styloid

 Chopart’s Fracture : foot dislocation through talonavicular and calcaneocuboid

joints with associated fractures, usually after ankle twisting.treated in a non weight
bearing cast for 6–8 weeks

 Clay Shoveller’s Fracture: spinous process fracture of C6, C7 or T1

 Colles Fracture : distal radius fracture with dorsal angulation, impaction and

radial drift

 Cedell Fracture : Posterior talar process fracture with injury to

the posteromedial tubercle caused by forced dorsiflexion and pronation

 Duverney’s Fracture : distal radius fracture with dorsal angulation, impaction and

radial drift

rotation from an eversion force.
E

 Essex-Lopresti Fracture: comminuted radial head fracture with interosseous

membrane disruption and distal radioulnar joint subluxation

 Felix Fracture : is a Classification of Periprosthetic Fractures of the Tibia

Associated with Total Knee Arthroplasty

G
 Galleazi Fracture : a fracture of the middle to distal one-third of the radius
associated with dislocation or subluxation of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ)

 Gosselin Fracture : a V-shaped fracture of the distal tibia with extension into the
tibial plafond, dividing it into anterior and posterior segments.

 Hangman’s Fracture : fracture of both pedicles of C2

 Hill-Sachs fracture : impacted posterior humeral head fracture occurring during

anterior shoulder dislocation

 Holstein-Lewis Fracture: fracture of the distal third of the humerus resulting in

entrapment of the radial nerve

 Holdsworth Fracture : unstable spinal fracture-dislocation at the thoracolumbar

junction

 Hume Fracture : olecranon fracture with anterior dislocation of radial head

 Hutchinson’s Fracture: intra-articular fractures of the radial styloid process. The

radial styloid is within the fracture fragment, although the fragment can vary
markedly in size.
