Abstract

Clinicians, including practitioners in primary care and across numerous specialties, are essential to the interpretation of imaging for correlating clinical presentation with fracture identifi cation on plain radiographs. A comprehensive review of radiographs lets clinicians document fi ndings accurately and communicate these fi ndings to colleagues, specialists, and patients. This article reviews fracture terminology that clinicians need to provide better understanding of the injury and direct appropriate management.
