An acute fracture apex refers to the sharp angle or point formed at the site of a fracture where the bone has broken. This term is often used in radiology and orthopedics to describe the alignment and geometry of the fractured bone. The apex can indicate the direction of the fracture line and may influence treatment decisions. In essence, it highlights the specific characteristics of the fracture that are crucial for diagnosis and management.

An acute fracture occurs suddenly or happened fairly recently, from 3-6 weeks ago. A non-acute fracture, meanwhile, is long standing and may refer to a healed or an improperly healed fracture.
An acute fracture is a break in a bone that occurs quickly, rapidly and usually traumatically. A non-acute fracture is one that occurs over time, often because of repeated physical stress or impact placed on the bone.
Acute < 90°
in the first and second metatarsal.
A no acute fracture refers to a bone that has not sustained a recent or traumatic break, indicating that there is no active injury. In contrast, a healing fracture is one that has previously been broken but is in the process of mending, showing signs of recovery on imaging studies. Both terms are used to describe the status of a bone in relation to injury and recovery.
It means to break something.
