Abstract:
Due to the historical development, most of the current domestic knowledge of medicine comes from the western countries so that some western medical terms have been still used now. There are many special names for intraarticular and periarticular fracture-dislocations in orthopedics, most of which were named directly after the medical sages who first found or characterized the fractures in detail and some of which after the injury mechanisms. However, the names are often misunderstood by domestic orthopaedists who lack the knowledge of them. This article reviews such names in order to inspire innovative thinking domestic orthopaedists by the knowledge of how the fractures were discovered.
