läpimurtuvia

Läpimurtuvia is a Finnish adjective form meaning “penetrating through” or “through-and-through.” It is the partitive plural form of the adjective läpimurtuva, which is built from läpi (through) and murtua (to break). The term is predominantly used in medical and clinical language to describe injuries or lesions that extend across the entire cross-section of a structure.

In practice, läpimurtuva is most commonly attached to nouns such as murtuma (fracture) or haava (wound). For example, a läpimurtuva murtuma refers to a fracture that splits a bone completely into two or more parts, with the break spanning the full thickness of the bone. The plural form, läpimurtuvia, is used when describing multiple such injuries or lesions, as in läpimurtuvia murtumia or läpimurtuvia haavoja, depending on the context.

Grammatical note: läpimurtuva is an -va/-vä adjective, and its plurals follow Finnish noun-adjective agreement rules. The form läpimurtuvia is used when the associated noun is plural in the partitive case, or when describing multiple instances in a sentence. The term is chiefly encountered in clinical descriptions, radiology reports, or medical discussions.

See also: murtuma, haava, läpi, murtua. The concept of through-and-through injuries is contextual and varies by medical specialty, but läpimurtuvia serves as a concise descriptor for such findings in plural form.
