Barton's Fracture
Barton's Fracture is a musculoskeletal term involving bone, muscle, tendon, joint, bursa or the neurovascular structures supporting movement.
Problems involving barton's fracture may cause localized pain, swelling, deformity, weakness or restriction of normal movement.
Physical examination assesses tenderness, stability, range of motion and neurovascular status before imaging is selected.
Radiography, ultrasound, CT or MRI can define structural injury, degeneration, inflammation or a mass when further characterization is needed.
Treatment may combine analgesia, activity modification, physiotherapy, immobilization, injection or operative reconstruction.
Functional recovery after barton's fracture depends on tissue healing, biomechanics, associated injury and a rehabilitation plan suited to the patient.
