It may be;
- Closed
- open
- splintered
- dispaced
Patterns of fracture include;
- transverse
- spiral
- oblique
- greenstick
- compression

What are cells that break down bone tissue called?
Cells that break down bone tissue are called osteoclasts. They are specialized cells responsible for resorption of bone tissue during bone remodeling and repair processes.
What are Cells that produce the matrix of new bone tissue are called?
Cells that produce the matrix of new bone tissue are called osteoblasts. These cells are responsible for secreting the proteins and minerals that make up the bone tissue during the process of bone formation.
When a bone breaks what consumes the dead bone cell tissues?
When a bone breaks, the body initiates a process called bone remodeling. Osteoclasts are cells that break down and remove the damaged bone tissue, while osteoblasts come in to build new bone tissue to repair the fracture. This process helps to remodel and strengthen the bone at the site of the break.
What is bone destruction called?
Bone destruction is known as osteolysis. It is a process where bone tissue is broken down and reabsorbed, leading to a decrease in bone density and strength. Osteolysis can be caused by conditions such as osteoporosis, bone cancer, or inflammatory diseases affecting the bones.
What is poor formation of bone called?
this is the complex term.pathology depends on the factor .for eg...congenital malformation of bone is called as dysostoses.
A straight break across the bone?
A straight break across the bone is called a transverse fracture.
What are cells that break down bone tissue called?
Cells that break down bone tissue are called osteoclasts. They are specialized cells responsible for resorption of bone tissue during bone remodeling and repair processes.
What are Cells that produce the matrix of new bone tissue are called?
Cells that produce the matrix of new bone tissue are called osteoblasts. These cells are responsible for secreting the proteins and minerals that make up the bone tissue during the process of bone formation.
What type of bone injury is it called if you break your ankle when you hit a rock while you are jogging?
The bone injury or break is called a fracture. A fracture is a partial or complete break in a bone. Fractures in the ankle can range from the less serious avulsion injuries (small pieces of bone that have been pulled off) to severe shattering-type breaks of the tibia, fibula, or both.
What do you call the cells in the skeletal system?
They are called osteocytes. Bone building cells are called osteoblasts and those that break down bone are called osteoclasts. You are constantly remodeling your bones.
A bone break that pierces or ruptures through the skin is called a?
compound fracture
Why isn't it easy to break a leg?
because theres something called a BONE in it
When a break causes an abnormal alignment of bone pieces what is it called?
displaced fracture
When a bone breaks what consumes the dead bone cell tissues?
When a bone breaks, the body initiates a process called bone remodeling. Osteoclasts are cells that break down and remove the damaged bone tissue, while osteoblasts come in to build new bone tissue to repair the fracture. This process helps to remodel and strengthen the bone at the site of the break.
What is a bone break at the wrist called?
a fracture
In which type of fracture does the bone completely break but does not pierce through the skin?
its simply called an open fracture when the bone has broke the skin and is sticking out.
What is bone destruction called?
Bone destruction is known as osteolysis. It is a process where bone tissue is broken down and reabsorbed, leading to a decrease in bone density and strength. Osteolysis can be caused by conditions such as osteoporosis, bone cancer, or inflammatory diseases affecting the bones.
