Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A greenstick fracture occurs when the bone bends and cracks, but doesn't completely break. This is more common in children, whose bones are more flexible than adults'.

Answer: C
 An impacted fracture occurs when the broken bone is driven into another bone, usually near a joint.

Answer: A, E and B are incorrect
 A depression fracture is a bone break in which the broken piece is pressed inward, but not displaced from the bone. A comminuted fracture is a bone break in which the bone is broken into multiple fragments. A spiral fracture is a bone break that spirals around and down the bone. None of these describe an incomplete bone break.
