Types Of Bone Fractures
Different types of bone fractures can occur from motor vehicle accidents, falls from high buildings, physical assault, construction accidents, sports accidents or other incidents. Types of bone fractures include:
- Open fracture — a fracture in which the bone is exposed
- Closed fracture — a fractured bone that has not poked through the skin
- Simple fracture — a fracture that splits the bone into two pieces
- Multifragment fracture — fractures that cause the bone to split into several pieces
- Compression fracture — a situation in which two bones collide with each other; this type of fracture is closed
- Avulsion fractures — a type of closed fracture in which a piece of bone breaks off
- Impacted fracture — a type of closed fracture in which pressure causes a bone to fragment
- Complete fracture — an injury in which segments of the bone separate completely
- Incomplete fracture — when the broken segments of the bone are still joined
- Oblique fracture — a diagonal break in a bone
- Spiral fracture — a break in which part of the bone is twisted
