GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A buckle fracture results from compression of two bones driven into each other. A growth plate fracture at the joint that can result in shorter bone length.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is a Compression Fracture? A compression fracture is a type of broken bone that can cause your vertebrae to collapse, making them shorter. This often happens to the front of the vertebrae but not the back, causing you to stoop forward over time.

Detailed explanation-3: -(kum-PREH-shun FRAK-sher) A type of break in a bone caused by pressure and in which the bone collapses. Compression fractures usually occur in the spine (backbone) and in bones made weak by cancer or by osteoporosis (a decrease in bone mass and density).

Detailed explanation-4: -Compression fractures can cause the vertebrae to collapse, making them shorter in height. This collapse can also cause pieces of bone to press on the spinal cord and nerves, decreasing the amount of blood and oxygen that gets to the spinal cord.
