Which type of fracture occurs when the bone breaks straight across its long axis?

Adolescents, especially those involved in high-impact sports or activities, are at a higher risk of stress fractures due to their bones still growing and being more susceptible to repetitive stress injuries.

b. Young adults: Young adults may also be at risk of stress fractures, but adolescents are more vulnerable due to their ongoing bone growth and development.
c. Older adults: While older adults are at risk of fractures, stress fractures are more commonly seen in younger individuals engaged in high-impact activities.
d. Middle-aged adults: Middle-aged adults may experience fractures related to osteoporosis, trauma, or other factors, but they are not the primary population at risk for stress fractures.

A transverse fracture occurs when the bone is completely broken into two separate pieces at a right angle to the bone's long axis.

a. Greenstick fracture: A greenstick fracture is an incomplete fracture where the bone bends and partially breaks, but it does not result in two separate pieces of bone.
c. Impacted fracture: An impacted fracture occurs when the bone ends are forced into each other, commonly seen in long bones such as the femur. It does not involve the bone breaking into two separate pieces.
d. Spiral fracture: A spiral fracture occurs when the bone is twisted, resulting in a spiral-shaped fracture line. It does not involve the bone breaking into two separate pieces.
