A fracture, abbreviated fx. There is many different types of fractures. A comminuted fracture breaks completely off and is shattered in many areas. greenstick fracture is a half break. Compound is broken off rigidly. A impacted fracture is broken completely off but it is a clean break. Colles fracture occurs in the wrist. These are to name only a few common ones.
