The elderly people have now also got older bones, so they are weak and can break easily.
Comminuted Fractures are more common in the elderly, because their brittle bones are more like to have the shattering-type effect of the Comminuted fracture.
Greenstick Fractures only occur in young pliable bones.
because as people get older their bones become more frail, so they then become easier to fracture and people become less stable so they fall more.
Greenstick fracture is common in children because their bones have a higher collagen content and are more flexible than adults' bones. This type of fracture occurs when the bone bends and partially breaks, similar to how a green stick would 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.
Greenstick fractures occur in children due to their softer, more flexible bones, which are not fully mineralized. When subjected to stress or bending forces, these bones can bend and break on one side while remaining intact on the other, resembling the way a young tree branch breaks. This type of fracture is more common in children because their bones are still growing and have not yet reached the density of adult bones.

A simple fracture is one that has not broken the skin.
