Which type of fracture occurs when a piece of bone is torn away by a ligament or tendon?
Greenstick fracture: A greenstick fracture involves the bone bending and partially breaking, not being torn away by a ligament or tendon.

An avulsion fracture occurs when a piece of bone is torn away by a ligament or tendon, often due to a sudden and forceful contraction of the muscle.
Impacted fracture: An impacted fracture occurs when the bone fragments are driven into each other, often seen in a fall or compression injury, not involving ligament or tendon tears.
