Fracture
Any crack, break, or shattering of the bone
Long bones
Relatively long and slender long bones are located in the arm and forearm, thigh, and leg, palms, soles, fingers, and toes. The femur, the long bones of the thigh, is the largest and heaviest bone in the body
Flat bones
Have thin, roughly parallel surfaces flat bones from the roof of the skull, the sternum, the ribs, and the scapula. They provide protection for underlying soft tissues and offer an extensive surface area
Short bones
Are small and boxy.
Irregular bones
Have complex shapes with short, flat, notched, or Rodgers surfaces.
Sesamoid bones
Are generally small, flat, and shapes somewhat like a sesame seed. They develop inside tendons and are most commonly located near joints at the knees, hands, and the feet
Sesamoid patellae
Knee caps but individuals vary in terms of the location and abundance
Sutural bones
Wormian bones are small, flat, iregularly shaped bones between the flat bones of the school.
Pott’s fracture
Occurs at the ankle and affects both bonds of the leg
Comminuted fracture
This fracture of the femur, shatter the affected area into a multitude of bony, fragments
Transverse
Break a shaft bones across its long axis
Spiral
Produced by twisting stresses that spread along the length of the bone
Displaced
Produce new and abnormal bone arrangements
Nondisplaced fracture
Retain the normal alignment of the bones or fragments
Colle’s
A break in the distal portion of the radius, is typically the result of reaching out to cushion s fall
Greenstick
Only one side of the shaft is broken, and the other is bent. This typically occurs in children whose long bones have yet to ossity fully
Epiphyseal
Tend to occur where the bone matrix is undergoing calcification and chondrocytes are dying.
Compression
Occur in vertebrae subjected to extreme stresses such as those produced by the forces that arise when you land on your seat in a fall
