When a bone breaks it is called a fracture. There's more than one way to break or fracture a bone. A break can be anything from a hairline fracture (a thin break in the bone) to the bone that's snapped in two pieces like a broken tree branch. Let see what the doctors describe fractures in the following ways:
- A complete fracture is when the bone has broken into two pieces.
- A greenstick fracture is when the bone cracks on one side only, not all the way through.
- A single fracture is when the bone is broken in one place.
- A comminuted fracture is when the bone is broken into more than two pieces or crushed.
- A bowing fracture, which only happens in kids, is when the bone bends but doesn't break.
- An open fracture is when the bone is sticking through the skin.
- As above is just information for your understanding if there is any emergency cause by bone broken.
