A green stick fracture is when the bone is not broken but is twisted or bent out of the normal position. A compound fracture is when the bone completely breaks and parts of the bone penetrate the soft tissue and go through the skin from the inside.
A simple fracture - results in a 'clean' break across the bone. A green-stick fracture is an incomplete break.
No, far from it. A compound, or open fracture, is usually considered to be the "worst" type.
an out of place bone like it is cracked sorta and the easiest to fracture is your wrist
Fracture.
A green powder is likely a mixture if it is composed of different substances that can be physically separated. If the powder has a uniform composition and cannot be separated into different components by physical means, it is likely a compound. Chemical analysis and tests can also help determine if the green powder is a compound or mixture.
There are various types of Fractures: 1. Simple fracture - does not break the skin. 2. Compound fracture - a fracture breaking the skin; also called "open fracture". 3. Greenstick fracture - a bend-like fracture in children. 4. Stress fracture - a fracture caused by repeated stress to the bone. 5. Pathological fracture - a fracture caused by underlying diseases. 6. Complicated fracture - also damaging nearby tissues. 7. Depressed fracture - skull fracture with bone forced inwards. 8. Comminuted fracture - multiple fractures and associated tissue damage to a single bone.
unless the fracture was so small it would heal quickly (a week or two) there would be no reason not to splint it. if a splint was necessary, and the vet wouldn't splint the fracture, go to a different vet.
Open fracture, closed fracture and green stick
greenstick fracture
A Hairline Fracture OR Possibly a Green Stick Fracture where the 2 pieces of the bone are still in position, but the bone is cracked … like green stick.
there are many different types but the main 3 are open closed and a greenstick fracture. An open fracture is often when the bone penetrates the skin. Closed is when there is a clean break but does not penetrate the skin. a greenstick fracture is when it is only broken in one place. Almost exclusively occurs during infancy and childhood. The bending of a bone with incomplete fracture, involving the convex side only. Green stick fractures are characterized by a break in the bone which partially extends across and then along the length of the bone forming the characteristic fracture pattern for which it is named. There is also I buckle Fracture which mostly happens in children who's bones are not fully developed.
well green stick fracture is common amongst children because there bones are still growing so that's usually what happens but it is possible for a child to have a clean break . i have currently broken my wrist . This is green stick fracture i have but you can green stick fracture your wrist any way you would break it. I have to admit i fractured my wrist by falling over a vaulting horse during P.E. I would rather say i hurt it in an extreme motor bicycle accident. but never mind. Hope this helps. see ya.
