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.
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 bone breaks, it is called a fracture.
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.
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
