Which type of fracture occurs in children due to their bones being more pliable?

A comminuted fracture occurs when the bone is crushed and shattered into multiple fragments, resulting in significant bone displacement and increased difficulty in alignment during the healing process.

a. Greenstick fracture: A greenstick fracture is an incomplete fracture where the bone bends and partially breaks, commonly seen in pediatric patients. It does not involve bone crushing or fragmentation.
c. Avulsion fracture: An avulsion fracture occurs when a small fragment of bone is pulled away from the main bone due to the forceful attachment of a tendon or ligament. It is not characterized by bone crushing or fragmentation.
d. Stress fracture: A stress fracture is a tiny crack in the bone caused by repetitive stress and overuse. It does not involve bone crushing or fragmentation.

An oblique fracture involves a break in the bone that is at an angle to the long axis of the bone. It is often the result of a diagonal force applied to the bone.

b. Spiral fracture: A spiral fracture occurs when the bone is twisted, causing a spiral-shaped fracture line. It often results from a twisting force applied to the bone and is not specifically at an angle to the long axis of the bone.
c. Transverse fracture: A transverse fracture is a type of fracture where the fracture line is perpendicular to the long axis of the bone and is not at an angle.
d. Greenstick fracture: A greenstick fracture is an incomplete fracture seen in children, where the bone bends and partially breaks on one side but remains intact on the other side. It is not specifically at an angle to the long axis of the bone.
