There are several types of bone fractures, including comminuted, compound, and greenstick fractures. A fracture occurs when a bone can no longer withstand pressure and breaks. Fractures are more common in adults than children because children's bones are more flexible. Symptoms of fractures include swelling, bruising, deformity, and loss of use of the affected area. A comminuted fracture is when the bone is crushed or shattered. A compound fracture breaks the skin. A greenstick fracture occurs when the bone bends instead of completely breaking, which is common in children. Ensuring proper healing involves realigning the bone with a cast or splint, sometimes requiring surgery, along with pain medication and rehabilitation.
