Transverse fracture
A transverse fracture, which is broken straight across the bone, is the result of a sharp, direct blow or may be a stress fracture caused
Compound fracture
-an injury in which a broken bone pierces the skin, causing a risk of infection.
Compression fracture
-fracture in which the bone collapses (especially in short bones such as vertebrae)
