A straight break across the bone?
A straight break across the bone is called a transverse fracture.
Fracture that cut across the bone at right angles to its long axis is called?
transverse
A bone fracture perpendicular to the bone's axis is called what?
transverse fracture
A transverse fracture is a break in the bone at an angle.?
Actually, a transverse fracture is characterized by a break that occurs horizontally across the bone, typically resulting from a direct impact or stress. This type of fracture runs perpendicular to the long axis of the bone. It contrasts with an oblique fracture, which occurs at an angle. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential for healing and restoring function.
What type of bone fracture results from a major blow?
A transverse fracture, where the bone breaks in a straight line perpendicular to its long axis, is likely to result from a major blow. This type of fracture is often seen in situations of high impact trauma.
How do you get a transverse fracture?
A transverse fracture is a bone fracture which runs at a right angle to the length (axis) of the bone. See link in Related links for more discussion of categories of fractures-- * linear, oblique or transverse * simple or compound * complete or incomplete
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.
What does misalignmements mean?
A misalignment is when a bone is fracture and the two ends are not realigned completely straight. A bone callus will form and the fracture will heal, but the bone is not straight and may cause problems for the animal (or person) later on.
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.
Which is the name for a broken bone?
A broken bone is often called a "fracture" or "bone fracture". Some examples from the Wikipedia entry on bone fracture. * Complete Fracture- A fracture in which bone fragments separate completely. * Incomplete Fracture- A fracture in which the bone fragments are still partially joined. * Linear Fracture- A fracture that is parallel to the bone's long axis. * Transverse Fracture- A fracture that is at a right angle to the bone's long axis. * Oblique Fracture- A fracture that is diagonal to a bone's long axis. * Compression Fracture-A fracture that usually occurs in the vertebrae. * Spiral Fracture- A fracture where at least one part of the bone has been twisted. * Comminuted Fracture- A fracture causing many fragments. * Compacted Fracture- A fracture caused when bone fragments are driven into each other * Open Fracture- A fracture when the bone reaches the skin * Bug fracture- A fracture when the bone is in place, but the fracture has the appearance of a crushed insect.
What are the different kinds of fractures?
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.
What is a break in the bone?
A fracture. May be of several types - ~Greenstick (partial/common in children) ~Comminuted-(basically shattered) ~Compound-(protruding out of the skin ) ~Simple-(not protruding out of the skin) ~Spiral-(around the bone) ~Transverse-(across the bone horizontally) ~Longitudinal-(long ways up a bone) ~Impacted-(broken ends wedged into one another)
