This document discusses three common types of bone fractures: Colles' fractures, buckle/greenstick fractures, and spiral fractures. Colles' fractures occur at the distal end of the radius, often from falls onto outstretched hands. Buckle/greenstick fractures mostly affect children before bones are fully formed. Spiral fractures result from twisting forces on the bone. Treatment depends on the severity but may include immobilization, casting, or surgery.
