A fracture. May be of several types -

~Greenstick (partial/common in children)

~Comminuted-(basically shattered)

~Compound-(protruding out of the skin )

~Simple-(not protruding out of the skin)

~Spiral-(around the bone)

~Transverse-(across the bone horizontally)

~Longitudinal-(long ways up a bone)

~Impacted-(broken ends wedged into one another)
