Childrens bones are bendier than adults. As a child grows up their bones become harder and not as easy to bend. Hope this helps :) x
Greenstick fractures are most common under 6 years of age, and are rarely seen up to 10 years of age.
Greenstick Fractures only occur in young pliable bones.

It is the greenstick fracture since children's bones are more flexible and less likely to have a complete break.

Greenstick fractures are more common in children because their bones are softer and more flexible than adult bones. When a child's bone bends under stress, it may crack like a green stick, rather than break completely. The flexibility of children's bones also allows them to absorb more energy before fracturing.
Open and closed are the two main categories, depending on whether the broken bone protrudes through the skin. After that, there are greenstick breaks, stress fractures, impacted fractures, pathological fractures, spiral fractures, comminuted fractures, and epiphyseal fractures. That's about it.

A 'hairline' or 'greenstick' fracture are types of partial fractures of bones. A chip may also occur on a bone.
Fractures are slightly more common in children and adolescents than in young adults due to the levels and kinds of activities in which they engage. Fractures become more common in adults as they age
