A fracture typically appears as a distinct break or discontinuity in the bone's structure, contrasting with the smooth, continuous surface of healthy bone. The fractured area may show irregular edges, misalignment, or displacement of bone fragments. Additionally, depending on the type of fracture, there might be visible swelling or bruising around the injury site. In medical imaging, fractures can be identified by their sharp lines or gaps, which differ from the uniform density of unbroken bone.
