Which type of fracture occurs when the bone breaks straight across its long axis?
Greenstick fracture: A greenstick fracture involves the bone bending and partially breaking, usually seen in children. It does not break straight across the bone.
A transverse fracture occurs when the bone breaks straight across its long axis, perpendicular to the bone's length.
Oblique fracture: An oblique fracture involves a diagonal break, not straight across the bone's long axis.
Comminuted fracture: In a comminuted fracture, the bone breaks into multiple pieces, which is different from breaking straight across the bone.
A transverse fracture occurs when the bone breaks straight across its long axis, perpendicular to the bone's length.
