Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A greenstick fracture is a type of bone fracture that is commonly found in children and is incomplete, meaning that the bone is partially broken and partially bent. This is different from a complicated fracture, which involves damage to surrounding tissues, a dentate fracture which involves a bone fragment being ripped away, a hairline fracture which is a very thin and narrow break, and a spiral fracture which involves a twisted break in a bone.
