An angulated fracture may or may not be displaced. It refers to a fracture where the bone is bent at an angle, which can occur with or without a significant shift in the bone's alignment. Displacement specifically describes a fracture where the ends of the broken bone are not aligned, so an angulated fracture could be classified as displaced if the bone fragments are misaligned.

When a fracture is accompanied by a bone displaced from its normal articulating position?

When a fracture is accompanied by a bone displaced from its normal articulating position, it is referred to as a displaced fracture. This type of fracture can lead to misalignment of the affected bone, which may impair function and increase the risk of complications such as improper healing or joint instability. Treatment often involves realigning the bone, which may require closed reduction (manipulation) or surgical intervention, followed by immobilization to allow for proper healing. Prompt medical attention is essential to restore proper alignment and function.
