Term
A, Oblique: fracture at oblique angle across bothcortices. Cause: Direct or indirect energy, withangulation and some compression.
B, Occult:Fracture that is hidden or not readily discernible.Cause: Minor force or energy.
C, Open: Skinbroken over fracture; possible soft tissue trauma.Cause: Moderate to severe energy that iscontinuous and exceeds tissue tolerances.
D,Pathologic: transverse, oblique, or spiral fractureof bone weakened by tumor pressure or presence
.Cause: Minor energy or force, which may be director indirect.

E, Comminuted: Fracture with two ormore pieces or segments. Cause: Direct orindirect moderate to severe force.
F, Spiral:Fracture that curves around cortices and maybecome displaced by twist. Cause: Direct orindirect twisting energy or force with distal partheld or unable t move.
G, Transverse: horizontalbreak through bone. Cause: Direct or indirectenergy toward bone.
H, Greenstick: Break in onlyone cortex of bone. Cause: Minor direct or indirectenergy.
