Detailed explanation-1: -A greenstick fracture is a crack or break on one side of a long bone in the arm or leg. The crack or break does not extend all the way through the bone. It is named for the way a fresh green twig behaves when bent.
Detailed explanation-2: -A greenstick fracture: a break on one side of the bone only. A buckle or torus fracture: an outward bend on one side of the bone without breaking the other side. An avulsion fracture: when a tendon or ligament pulls off of a tiny piece of bone.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is a greenstick fracture? A greenstick fracture occurs when a bone bends and breaks, but doesn’t break into two separate pieces. It’s called by this name because it looks similar to what happens when you try to break a “green” branch from a tree. It also goes by the term “partial fracture.”
