3 Types of bone fractures

The three basic types of bone fractures:

• Green stick fracture: A fracture when a bone is cracked or slightly bent but, not entirely broken. This can cause a lot of pain to the person. This can easily be treated and ready to use if the person is given a cast.                                                   

                                                                

• Compound fracture: This is a fracture when the bone is totally broken and, it also pierces the skin. These most oftenely involve a replacement surgery.
