What is meant by a complete fracture?
Fractures are termed complete if the break is completely through the bone and described as incomplete or "greenstick" if the fracture occurs partly across a bone shaft
A fracture in the shaft of a bone would be a break in the?
The shaft of a long bone is the center area, as in the middle of the bone, not at one of the ends. Take a tree as an example - the roots would be one end, the leaves the other end and the shaft would be the trunk.
What kind of fracture is a faint line in the shaft of a bone?
This would be a hairline fracture or stress fracture. These only occur in weight bearing bones.
A fracture or break in a bone that runs parallel with the bone is known as a?
longitudinal fracture
What it is a break in a bone?
Fracture.
Bone fracture that doesn't break the skin?
A bone fracture that does not break the skin is called a closed fracture. In this type of fracture, the bone is broken but the skin remains intact, which helps to reduce the risk of infection. Treatment usually involves immobilizing the bone with a cast or brace to allow it to heal properly.
How would you describe a fracture?
Fracture means a type of break. Not the same as a broken bone. A broken bone is when the bone snaps and the two peices of bone come apart. A fracture is when the bone breaks but does not come apart/disconnect.

What is the difference between and a avulsion fracture and a fracture?
An avulsion fracture is when you pull a ligament or tendon from a bone and a piece of that bone comes with it. It is not actually a "fracture". A fracture is a break.
What kind of fracture does the bone splinter and the break is incomplete?
Greenstick Fracture
What are the 12 types of fractures?
The 12 types of fractures include: Simple (Closed) Fracture - the bone breaks but does not pierce the skin. Compound (Open) Fracture - the bone breaks and protrudes through the skin. Transverse Fracture - the break is horizontal across the bone. Oblique Fracture - the break has an angled pattern. Spiral Fracture - the break spirals around the bone, often due to twisting forces. Comminuted Fracture - the bone shatters into multiple pieces. Greenstick Fracture - an incomplete fracture, common in children, where the bone bends. Stress Fracture - a small crack in the bone caused by repetitive force or overuse. Avulsion Fracture - a fragment of bone is torn away by a tendon or ligament. Pathologic Fracture - a break due to a disease that weakens the bone. Segmental Fracture - a bone is fractured in two or more places, leaving a "segment" of bone. Impacted Fracture - the bone fragments are driven into each other.
