Open Fracture
An open fracture is a broken bone that
penetrates the skin
Need for immediate treatment
Caused by high-impact injuries such as car crashes, falls,
or sports injuries
Open fractures are also known as
compact fractures
![Page 5: Tracy Dawson & Michelle Verrochi. Comminuted Depression Compression Transverse Oblique Spiral Greenstick Open vs. closed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a5359e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Closed Fracture
A broken bone that does not
penetrate the skin
Closed fractures are also known as
simple fractures
![Page 6: Tracy Dawson & Michelle Verrochi. Comminuted Depression Compression Transverse Oblique Spiral Greenstick Open vs. closed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a5359e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Comminuted Fracture
Comminuted Fracture of the Femur
Splintering of bone – at least 3 pieces
Caused by extreme sudden impact or heavy crushing
weight
One of the most serious and painful
Surgery may be needed
![Page 7: Tracy Dawson & Michelle Verrochi. Comminuted Depression Compression Transverse Oblique Spiral Greenstick Open vs. closed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a5359e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Depression
Depression Fracture of the
Skull
Broken bones displaced inward
Caused by blunt force trauma
Pressure on brain
May require surgery
![Page 8: Tracy Dawson & Michelle Verrochi. Comminuted Depression Compression Transverse Oblique Spiral Greenstick Open vs. closed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a5359e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Compression
Compression Fracture of the
Vertebra
Caused by trauma (ejection seats) or
weakened vertebral column
Most common in lower spine
![Page 9: Tracy Dawson & Michelle Verrochi. Comminuted Depression Compression Transverse Oblique Spiral Greenstick Open vs. closed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a5359e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Transverse
Transverse Fracture of the
Humerus
Break is across the bone at a right
angle to the long axis of the bone
![Page 10: Tracy Dawson & Michelle Verrochi. Comminuted Depression Compression Transverse Oblique Spiral Greenstick Open vs. closed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a5359e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Oblique
Oblique Fracture of the Proximal
Phalanx (Phalanges)
Broken at an angle across the bone
Usually results from a sharp angled impact
to the bone
![Page 11: Tracy Dawson & Michelle Verrochi. Comminuted Depression Compression Transverse Oblique Spiral Greenstick Open vs. closed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a5359e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Spiral
Spiral Break of the
Humerus
A fracture in which a bone
has been twisted apart
Sometimes called a torsion
fracture
![Page 12: Tracy Dawson & Michelle Verrochi. Comminuted Depression Compression Transverse Oblique Spiral Greenstick Open vs. closed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a5359e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Greenstick
Greenstick Fracture of the Ulna and Radius
One side of the fracture has broken and one side is bent; therefore classified as an incomplete break
Occurs most often in children because their
bones are softer and more flexible than those of an
adult
![Page 13: Tracy Dawson & Michelle Verrochi. Comminuted Depression Compression Transverse Oblique Spiral Greenstick Open vs. closed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a5359e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Now it is your turn…
To the best of your ability, determine: if the fracture is open or closed the type of fracture shown in the X-ray be able to defend your choice
Remember your choices are:Comminuted, Depression, Compression, Transverse, Oblique, Spiral, or Greenstick
