Fractures



An impact fracture is a broken bone end is wedged into the other broken end.



A spiral fracture is otherwise knwo as a torsion. It's a twisted bone that creates an oblique fracture around the bone.


An oblique fracture is a bone broken across at an angle.







A longitudinal fracture occures along the long axis of the bone. This is a picture of a temporal longitudinal fracture.




A greenstick fracture occurs in a soft young bone especially in kids. The bone bends and partially breaks
