What is a comminate fracture?

A comminuted fracture is a type of bone fracture where the bone is broken into three or more pieces. This type of fracture often results from high-impact trauma, such as a car accident or severe fall. Due to the complexity of the break, comminuted fractures typically require surgical intervention and may involve the use of plates or screws to stabilize the bone fragments during the healing process. Recovery can be longer compared to simpler fractures due to the extent of the injury.
