Etymology
The term "Orange Crush" in the medical context is derived from the color of the surgical drapes used during the procedure, which are often orange, and the "crushing" action performed during the procedure.
Definition
The Orange Crush is a surgical procedure used in orthopedics, specifically in the treatment of fractures. It involves the use of a special instrument to crush or compress the fractured bone to promote healing.
