Want this question answered?
I got a hairline fracture in my ankle by to running up a slide and jumping off and due to not wearing proper shoes. When I landed I mistakenly landed on my left foot and due to all that force coming down on that one ankle, the outer part of my foot touched the side of my calf..... It swelled up so bad that when I got it X-Ray'd the doctors couldn't see the fracture, they thought I just got a real bad sprain. It wasn't until a week later they realized I had a hairline fracture in my ankle. Sorry for rambling on. :P
I dont know, why are you asking me that?
When Kate fell down, she scraped her elbow.
a fracture in which skin is intact at site of fracture is a closed fracture or simple fracture whereas compound fracture or an open fracture is a fracture in which the skin is perforated and there is an open wound down to the site of the fracture.
'Fracture' means 'to break'. Minerals often break (or fracture) in certain directions that many other minerals do not. The way a mineral fractures, then, helps a person narrow down the identity of the mineral. Fracture, along with color, streak color, hardness, and specific gravity are all used in the identification of minerals.

If your ankle is swollen slightly then you should not have to convince your father that you have sprained your ankle. Put hot and cold cloths on it to bring the swelling down and a tensor bandage (not too tight) that you can buy at the drug store. Meanwhile talk to your mother or an aunt to have the ankle looked at in case you have a hairline fracture.
It should show up in xray imagery as a thin white line, especially if the image is taken while the area isn't swollen. Other symtpoms include a large hematoma on top of the patella that is itself topped by a "fat cap" -- fat or marrow from inside the bone that has leaked out and floated to the surface of the hematoma. Also, most fractured patellas are proximally displaced (although other displacements are possible). Lay the patent down and compare to the non-injured patella for positioning. One test for a more seriously fractured patella is to lay the patient on their back and ask them to attempt to perform a leg lift with the injured leg -- no more than 10 degrees, or to the point it hurts. If the patient cannot lift the leg (regardless of pain), this is an indication of a fracture, as the connective tissue bonding the quadriceps to the back of the patella is not getting sufficient leverage to lift the leg. This can be a very painful injury. All evaluation should be performed in a manner that does not increase patient suffering, or skipped altogether. This injury and other patellar injuries like it respond very well to cold packing. 10 minutes on; 10 minutes off.
It's a fracture in the upper thigh bone, a crack running down both sides of it.
A fracture is when rock splits (cracks). A fault is when a fracture has slipped - movement either up, down or sideways.
