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.

Is a torn ligament a strain?

No, a torn ligament is a sprain. A sprain can happen when a ligament is overstretched. It can be caused by a twist or wrench. So a twisted ankle is a sprained ankle. A strain refers to when you tear or overstretch a muscle or tendon (which attach muscles to bones). This can be caused by a sudden stretch or extra effort. So a pulled hamstring is a strained hamstring.
