Direction: Explain an impacted fracture.

A fracture is called simple (closed) when the overlying skin is not broken and
the bone is not exposed to the air; it is called compound (open) when the bone is exposed.
An impacted fracture occurs when the broken ends of the bone are jammed together by
the force of the injury. A fracture is one in which the broken ends of the bone are
shattered into many pieces. Fracture, in pathology, a break in a bone caused by stress.
Certain normal and pathological conditions may predispose bones to fracture. Children
have relatively weak bones because of incomplete calcification, and older adults,
especially women past menopause, develop osteoporosis, a weakening of bone
concomitant with aging. Pathological conditions involving the skeleton, most commonly
the spread of cancer to bones, may also cause weak bones. In such cases very minor
stresses may produce a fracture. Other factors, such as general health, nutrition, and
heredity, also have effects on the liability of bones to fracture and their ability to heal.
