what type of fracture is this?

Potts fracture

what type of fracture is this?

Displaced fracture

what type of fracture is this?

Compression fracture

what type of fracture is this?

Spiral fracture

what type of fracture is this?

Epiphyseal fracture

what type of fracture is this?

Comminuted

what type of fracture is this?

Greenstick fracture

what type of fracture is this?

Colles fracture

what type of fracture is this?

Transverse fracture

what are the four repair steps for fractures

Fracture hematoma step

Callus formation

Spongy bone formation

Compact bone formation

explain the fracture hematoma step in fracture repair process

produces a large blood clot

Establishes a fibrous connection

Bone cells around the area die

explain the callus formation step in the fraction repair process

cells of periostuem and endosteum divide and migrate to fracture zone

Callus stabilize the break

Explain the spongy bone formation in the fracture repair process

Osteoblasts replace central cartilage
of external callus with spongy bone

explain the bone formation step in the fracture repair process

the repaired bone might be slightly thicker and stronger than normal
