1
Q
Impaction is
A
= compression with axial load
Depression & compression
2
Q
Avulsion
A
= tensile loading of fragment & main body of bone
Muscle contraction or passive loading
3
Q
Greenstick fracture
A
- Fracture on side of TENSILE loading
- Angular displacement common
4
Q
Torus fracture
A
- Impaction fracture on side of compressive loading
5
Q
