Fractures ( 58 Questions)
Which of the following types of fractures involves the bone breaking into multiple pieces?
Greenstick fracture: A greenstick fracture involves the bone bending and partially breaking, commonly seen in children. It does not result in multiple pieces.
Transverse fracture: A transverse fracture occurs when the bone breaks straight across its long axis, but it does not involve multiple pieces.
In a comminuted fracture, the bone is broken into multiple pieces, which may require more complex treatment and longer healing time.
Spiral fracture: A spiral fracture is characterized by a twisting or spiraling break along the bone, but it does not result in multiple pieces.
