1. Complete Frac- Occurs when the bone is broken to form 2 or more separate pieces
ture
2. Incomplete frac- The bone is only partially broken
ture
3. Greenstick Frac- Type of incomplete fracture. The shaft of the bone is bent, tearing the cortical bone
ture (outer layer of compact bone) on one side but not extending all the way through
the bone
4. Compound frac- Results when skin is broken
ture (Open frac-
ture)
5. Closed fracture The skin is not broken at the fracture site
6. Simple fracture a single break in the bone
7. Comminuted multiple fracture lines and bone fragments
fracture
8. Compression common in the vertebrae, occurring when a bone is crushed or collapses into small
fracture pieces
9. Impacted frac- occurs when one end of the bone is forced or telescoped into the adjacent bone
ture
10. Pathologic frac- results from a weakness in the bone structure due to conditions such as a tumor
ture or osteoporosis
11. Stress fracture result from repeated excessive stress, commonly in the tibia, femur, or second and
third metatarsals
12. occurs in the skull when the broken section is forced inward on the brain

Depressed frac-
ture
13. Transverse frac- across the bone (perpendicular)
ture
14. linear fracture along the axis of the bone (parallel)
15. oblique fracture a break at an angle to the diaphysis of the bone
16. spiral fracture a break that angles around the bone, usually due to a twisting injury
17. Colles' fracture break in the distal radius at the wrist, commonly occurring when a person attempts
to break a fall by extending the arm and open hand. Sometimes the ulna is also
damaged
18. Pott's fracture refers to a fracture of the lower fibula due to excessive stress on the ankle; like
when stepping down with force. The tibia may be damaged as well.
19. Bone healing Five stages of ____ _______:
1. Hematoma
2. Granulation tissue
3. Procallus
4. Bony Callus
5. Remodeling
20. Hematoma When a bone breaks, bleeding occurs from the blood vessels in the bone and
periostenum. Bleeding and inflammation also develop around the bone because
of soft tissue damage. This ________ forms in the medullary canal, under the
periostenum, and between the ends of bone fragments. At fracture sites, the
________ serves as the basis for a fibrin network into which granulation tissue
grows.
