1.Joe fell from a rock wall and landing directly on his outstretched arm, causing the bone to break cleanly across horizontally. The break is in a straight line across the bone.
2.Susan was in a car accident where the force was significant enough to cause multiple breaks in her left femur. The bone is fractured in two places, so there is a "floating" piece of bone.
3.Sophie slipped on ice and twisted her leg awkwardly, resulting in a diagonal break in the bone from a rotational force being applied to the bone. The break is diagonal across the bone.
4.Tom got tackled playing football and his humerus got twisted by the tackle motion and resulted in the break spiraling around the bone. This is common in a twisting injury. 5.Four year old Jimmy fell off his trike and landed on an outstretched arm.
Instead of the bone breaking completely, it bent and cracked incompletely on one side, resembling a young stick that has been bent but not broken. This was an incomplete fracture as a portion of the bone was broken, causing the other side to bend.
6.Jillian was crossing the street and was hit by a car, where the force of impact caused her femur bone to shatter into multiple smaller pieces.
This required extensive surgical intervention to realign the bone fragments. The bone had broken into three or more pieces and fragments were present at the fracture site.
Match the fractures.
