Fractures ( 58 Questions)

Which type of fracture occurs when the bone breaks straight across its long axis?



Correct Answer: B

A transverse fracture occurs when the bone breaks straight across its long axis, perpendicular to the bone's length.

  
a. Greenstick fracture: A greenstick fracture involves the bone bending and partially breaking, usually seen in children. It does not break straight across the bone.
c. Oblique fracture: An oblique fracture involves a diagonal break, not straight across the bone's long axis.
d. Comminuted fracture: In a comminuted fracture, the bone breaks into multiple pieces, which is different from breaking straight across the bone.
