What type of fracture occurs when one side of the bone is broken, and the other side is bent?
A greenstick fracture involves the bone bending and partially breaking, with one side of the bone being broken and the other side bent.
Transverse fracture: A transverse fracture occurs when the bone breaks straight across its long axis, not involving bending.
Oblique fracture: An oblique fracture involves a diagonal break, not breaking on one side and bending on the other.
Stress fracture: A stress fracture occurs due to repetitive stress on the bone, not involving one side breaking and the other side bending.
