Apposition
Describes the closeness of the bony contact at the fracture site
Describe offset of the distal in relation to the proximal
Alignment
Position of the distal fragment in relation to the proximal in the longitudinal axis
The degree of angulation
Rotation
Produced by a twisting force along the longitudinal axis
