Types of Bone Fractures

- Open Fractures: Where the bone breaks and pierces the skin, posing a higher risk of infection.
- Stress Fractures: Small cracks in the bone caused by repetitive force or overuse.
- Comminuted Fractures: Where the bone is broken into several pieces.
- Greenstick Fractures: An incomplete fracture where the bone bends, common in children.
- Pathologic Fractures: Caused by an underlying disease that weakens the bones, such as osteoporosis.
