Comminuted - bone fragments into three or more pieces.
Compression - Bone is crushed.
Spiral - ragged break occurs when excessive twisting forces are applied to a bone.
Epiphyseal - epiphysis separates from the diaphysis along the epiphyseal.
Depressed - broken bone portion is pressed inward.
Greenstick - bone breaks incompletely, much in the way a green twig breaks. only one side of the shaft breaks; the other side bends.
No. The hyoid bone is classified as an irregular bone.
Spiral bone fractures, or any fracures for that matter, could be caused by malnourishment of the bones. Weak bones=more breaks and fractures. Bone injury is almost always a result of trauma, however.
it is a flat bone.
There are two main catorgories of fractures. Complete and incomplete. A complete fracture is what we would usually refer to as a break (but that is not a medical term). An incomplete fracture is a hairline fracture, when the bone is cracked or patially broken. Another incomplete fracture is a greenstick, when the bone is broken on one side causing it to bend. Some coplete fractures are the simple fracture, where the bone is broken into two, straight across. Then the oblique fracture is very similar except it is broken on an angle. The spiral fracture is broken on an angle the twisted. Compound fracture is when the bone breaks through the skin. The comminuted fracture is a multi-fragmentary fracture.
The patella is a sesamoid bone. It was formerly classified as irregular; however, bones that cover tendons and facilitate motion are now classified as sesamoid.
Pelvic fractures are classified as stable or unstable, and as open or closed.

no
Bone cysts cause fractures and damage to bone tissue
No. The hyoid bone is classified as an irregular bone.
fracture
No , not all of them but most of them are bone breaks
Yes, elderly people are more likely to get bone fractures due to age-related factors such as decreased bone density, muscle weakness, and balance issues. Additionally, conditions like osteoporosis can further increase the risk of fractures in older individuals.
osteogenesis imperfecta - brittle bone disease
Spiral fractures are described as crossing a bone at an oblique angle, creating a spiral pattern. This break usually occurs in the long bones of the body such as the upper arm bone (humerus) or the thigh bone
Spiral bone fractures, or any fracures for that matter, could be caused by malnourishment of the bones. Weak bones=more breaks and fractures. Bone injury is almost always a result of trauma, however.
