Types of Fractures Bone by Phoenix Ortho and Speciality Clinic
Types of Fractures Bone:
Straight Across Break: Transverse Fracture Transverse fractures exhibit a clean, straight-line break across the bone, often resulting from significant impacts like falls or automobile accidents. For consultation do visit Phoenix Ortho and Speciality Clinic.
Spiraling Impact: Spiral Fracture Characterized by a twisting pattern along the bone, spiral fractures typically occur in long bones such as the femur or tibia, often stemming from sports injuries, physical attacks, or accidents.
Bending, Not Breaking: Greenstick Fracture Common in children, greenstick fractures involve partial breaks where the bone bends but doesn't completely separate. The softer and more flexible nature of children's bones makes them prone to this type of fracture.
Hairline Cracks: Stress Fracture Also known as hairline fractures, stress fractures resemble cracks and are often challenging to detect with regular X-rays. Repetitive motions, especially in activities like running, can lead to stress fractures.
Bone Compression: Compression Fracture As a result of the crushing of bones, compression fractures cause the affected bone to widen and flatten. This type is frequently seen in the spine and is commonly associated with conditions like osteoporosis.
Diagonal Break: Oblique Fracture Oblique fractures occur when the bone breaks diagonally, usually in long bones. These fractures are often the outcome of a sharp blow from an angled force, such as a fall or trauma.
Forced Fusion: Impacted Fracture Impacted fractures happen when the broken bone ends are forcefully driven together, creating a jammed effect due to the impacting force that caused the fracture.
Floating Segment: Segmental Fracture In segmental fractures, a single bone experiences a break in two places, leaving a "floating" bone segment between the breaks. Common in long bones like those in the legs, these fractures may pose challenges and require longer healing times.
Bone Puzzle: Comminuted Fracture Comminuted fractures involve the bone breaking into three or more pieces, often accompanied by fragments at the fracture site. These severe fractures typically result from high-impact traumas like automobile accidents.
Tendon Tug: Avulsion Fracture Avulsion fractures occur when a tendon or ligament pulls a fragment off the bone. More prevalent in children, the pulling force of a ligament can sometimes lead to the fracture of a
growth plate.
