GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Comminuted Fracture: the bone breaks into several pieces. Compression or Wedge Fracture: usually involves the bones in the back (vertebrae). Greenstick Fracture: an incomplete fracture in which the bone is bent; occurs most often in children.

Detailed explanation-2: -A comminuted fracture is when the bone breaks into several pieces.

Detailed explanation-3: -In general, if a bone is broken in more than four places it can be considered highly comminuted. Comminuted fractures include a complete fracture of the bone, unlike other types of fractures, like a greenstick fracture, which is when a bone cracks, but does not completely separate.

Detailed explanation-4: -A comminuted fracture is one in which the bone is broken into 3 or more pieces. There are also bone fragments present at the fracture site. These types of bone fractures occur when there is a high-impact trauma, such as an automobile accident.
