Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A greenstick fracture is a partial thickness fracture where only cortex and periosteum are interrupted on one side of the bone but remain uninterrupted on the other. [1] They occur most often in long bones, including the fibula, tibia, ulna, radius, humerus, and clavicle.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.”
Detailed explanation-3: -Greenstick. This is an incomplete fracture. A portion of the bone is broken, causing the other side to bend.
