Types Of FracturesBy: Taquia Herbert
What is a FractureA Fracture is simply a broken bone
Types of FracturesComminutedCompoundGreenstickSome others are: Compression, Impacted, Oblique, Pathologic, Spiral, Stress, and Traverse.I’ll be reporting the three types of Fractures listed to the left
Comminuted FractureA comminuted fracture is a fracture in which the bone is shattered, splintered, or crushed into many small pieces or fragments.
Compound FractureA Compound Fracture is a fracture in which the skin has been broken through to the fracture, also called an open fracture!
Greenstick FractureA greenstick Fracture is a fracture where there is an incomplete break in the bone, one side of the bone is broken while the other side is bent!
How Fractures Heal……Unlike other things that may break in life, bones begin healing on their own before you even set foot in a waiting room.Occurs in three stagesThe first few days to weeks is called Stage I, or the Inflammatory Stage, of bone healing. This consists of bleeding, tenderness and swellingThe Reparative Stage, or Stage 2, starts within a week or two and continues for many months. It consists of cells forming at the fracture site and turning into bone. Soft callus formation stage! The Remodeling Stage, (The last stage) continues for many months to a few years. It consists of  weak bone material forming to strong bone material. Because this new material is so strong, you don't need a lot of it, and the body will remodel the fracture callus down to a normal sized bone.
