    Section 19: Fracture Mechanics and Breaks

    Uploaded by

    canilkumarrichitha
    This document section discusses fracture mechanics and bone breaks. It defines the basic forces that can cause fractures, including compression, tension, transverse loading, and torsion. It also defines and provides examples of different types of fractures, such as open or closed fractures, greenstick fractures, spiral fractures, impacted fractures, and comminuted fractures. Common fracture types in the elderly or from abuse or sports injuries are also mentioned.

    Fracture Types
    Fractures are often classified according to the position of the bone ends after the break:

    Open (compound) bone ends penetrate the skin. Closed (simple) bone ends dont penetrate the skin. Comminuted bone fragments into 3 or more pieces Common pieces.
    in the elderly (brittle bones).

    Greenstick Spiral

    bone breaks incompletely. One side bent, one side broken. broken Common in children whose bone contains more collagen and are less mineralized. ragged break caused by excessive twisting forces. Sports injury/Injury of abuse abuse.

    Impacted

    one bone fragment is driven into the medullary space or spongy bone of another.
