Fracture article structure

Last revised by Allison L Zwingenberger on 30 Jan 2023

Articles describing fractures require a different set of subheadings from a 'standard' article, as the usual epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathology etc., may not be relevant. 

Example article: TBD

Introductory sentence, with the title of the article repeated and emboldened, e.g.: Clavicular fractures are common, accounting for 2.6-10% of all fractures, and often require minimal treatment. In some instances open reduction and internal fixation are required.

Epidemiology

This is optional, and not relevant for many fractures which do not have any specific epidemiology. 

Mechanism

Radiographic features

Treatment and prognosis

History and etymology

Some fractures have eponymous names.
