Greenstick Fracture
A buckle fracture is a fracture in which there is incomplete loss of integrity of the bony cortex, frequently caused by a compressive force. These are also called a Torus fracture. They are treated by splinting or casting for about 3-4 weeks. These tend to heal quickly.
A partial fracture is a type of bone fracture where the bone is cracked but not completely broken. It may also be called an incomplete fracture. Treatment for a partial fracture usually involves immobilization to allow the bone to heal properly.
A simple fracture - results in a 'clean' break across the bone. A green-stick fracture is an incomplete break.
A Greenstick Fracture
A fracture is a complete or incomplete break in a bone resulting from the application of excessive force.
When a bone breaks, it is called a fracture.
Fractures are termed complete if the break is completely through the bone and described as incomplete or "greenstick" if the fracture occurs partly across a bone shaft
When a fracture is associated with a laceration or cut in the area of the fracture, it is called an open fracture
A closed fracture may also be referred to as a simple fracture. An open fracture is also called a compound fracture.
