The bones are elastic tissue that will be replaced by hard , bony tissue.This process is called ossification.

A complete fracture: A bone breaks into 2 pieces

A greenstick fracture: A bone cracks on 1 side only, but not all the way through.

A single fracture: A bone is broken only in 1 place

A comminuted (say: kah-muh-noot-ed) fracture: A bone breaks into 2 or more places, or is crushed

A bowing fracture: This happens only in kids when the bone breaks but doesn't crack

An open fracture: When the bone sticks out of the skin

Yeah, and most of the time you'll have to get a cast. Of course, you go to the hospital and see the doctors.

What to do when you think someone (or yourself) has a broken bone.

  • Stay calm
  • Make sure the hurt person is as comfortable as possible and warm.
  • Tell an adult immediately after making sure the injured person will not move, run away, and is safe.
  • If there aren't any adults around, call 911 or the emergency number in your area.
