Which is the name for a broken bone?

A broken bone is often called a "fracture" or "bone fracture". Some examples from the Wikipedia entry on bone fracture. * Complete Fracture- A fracture in which bone fragments separate completely. * Incomplete Fracture- A fracture in which the bone fragments are still partially joined. * Linear Fracture- A fracture that is parallel to the bone's long axis. * Transverse Fracture- A fracture that is at a right angle to the bone's long axis. * Oblique Fracture- A fracture that is diagonal to a bone's long axis. * Compression Fracture-A fracture that usually occurs in the vertebrae. * Spiral Fracture- A fracture where at least one part of the bone has been twisted. * Comminuted Fracture- A fracture causing many fragments. * Compacted Fracture- A fracture caused when bone fragments are driven into each other * Open Fracture- A fracture when the bone reaches the skin * Bug fracture- A fracture when the bone is in place, but the fracture has the appearance of a crushed insect.


A bone fracture where the bone is broken into many fragments is?

a type of bone fracture producing many bone fragments is?


How do you get a transverse fracture?

A transverse fracture is a bone fracture which runs at a right angle to the length (axis) of the bone. See link in Related links for more discussion of categories of fractures-- * linear, oblique or transverse * simple or compound * complete or incomplete


What are the different kinds of fractures?

there are many different types but the main 3 are open closed and a greenstick fracture. An open fracture is often when the bone penetrates the skin. Closed is when there is a clean break but does not penetrate the skin. a greenstick fracture is when it is only broken in one place. Almost exclusively occurs during infancy and childhood. The bending of a bone with incomplete fracture, involving the convex side only. Green stick fractures are characterized by a break in the bone which partially extends across and then along the length of the bone forming the characteristic fracture pattern for which it is named. There is also I buckle Fracture which mostly happens in children who's bones are not fully developed.


What is the proper name for a broken bone?

A fracture for a broken bone. If the bone is broken badly enough to stick out through the skin it is called a compound fracture.


What is the name for a fracture in which one bone fragment is driven into the other?

A bone fracture where the bone fragments are driven into each other is called a "Compacted Fracture".


When a bone breaks What is it called?

When a bone breaks, it is called a fracture.


A bone fracture perpendicular to the bone's axis is called what?

transverse fracture


What type of fracture is characterized by fragmentation of the bone?

When a bone is fractured in such a manner that the bone fragments, it is typically called a comminuted bone fracture.


When a bone breaks it is called?

Fracture and/or stress fracture. Stress Fracture implies that it is just a crack in the bone, whereas a fracture implies a complete breakage or separation of the bone.
