From a mechanical perspective bone fails secondary to shear, tension, compression, bending, torsion, or combined loading and the fracture morphology reflects the failure mode. In a diaphyseal impaction fracture what is the common failure mode?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diaphyseal impaction fractures typically result from axial compression loads, where the force is applied along the axis of the bone, leading to a shortening or impaction of the bone structure.
