RESUMO
El traumatismo esquelético representa un alto porcentaje de casos en la práctica clínica diaria, sobre todo en los servicios de urgencias. Lo importante en el informe radiológico es no mencionar únicamente la fractura. Es necesario estar familiarizado con los principios de los traumatismos óseos y emitir informes concisos que pongan de manifiesto la extensión completa de cada lesión.El objetivo de este artículo es describir algunos de los patrones de presentación de las fracturas en la radiografía simple de acuerdo a los desplazamientos óseos, tipos de fracturas asociadas, asociación de fracturas y luxaciones, lesiones de los tejidos blandos y los signos indirectos. Asimismo, se hace hincapié en la necesidad de realizar estudios con tomografía computarizada y resonancia magnética ante determinados hallazgos (AU)
Skeletal trauma accounts for a high percentage of cases in daily clinical practice, especially in emergency departments. It is important not to limit radiology reports to the fracture. Radiologists must be familiar with the principles of bone trauma and elaborate concise reports that describe the complete extent of each lesion.This article aims to describe some of the patterns with which fractures present on plain-film radiographs, taking into account bone displacement, types of associated fractures, associations of fractures with luxations, soft-tissue lesions, and indirect signs. Likewise, we emphasize the need to perform computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging studies in certain cases (AU)
