Well there is the simple description 'Crush Fracture'. One might also refer to it as a comminuted fracture, meaning the bone is broken into two or more pieces, and add the prefix open or closed, denoting whether the bone is visible through a wound.
When a bone is splintered or crushed, it is known as a comminuted fracture. This type of fracture results in the bone breaking into multiple fragments. Treatment typically involves surgery to realign and stabilize the bone fragments.
Comminuted fracture
A compression fracture occurs when the bone is crushed or pressed together, often resulting in loss of height in the bone. This type of fracture is commonly seen in osteoporotic bones. Treatment involves stabilizing the bone and managing pain.
comminuted fracture
Closed fracture. If the bone is crushed or broken in multiple pieces, a comminuted fracture.
A compression fracture is common in the vertebral column, where the bone is crushed or collapsed due to excessive force or trauma. This type of fracture often occurs in individuals with osteoporosis or from high-energy accidents like falls from a height or car accidents. Treatment may involve pain management, bracing, and sometimes surgery to restore stability.
Pathological fracture
a type of bone fracture producing many bone fragments is?
A compound fracture is when a bone protrudes through the skin.
Simple Fracture.
When a bone fracture protrudes through the skin it is classified as an open fracture. With an open fracture there is a risk of deep bone infection.
A compound or open fracture, where the bone is visible sticking out of the skin
