CLASSIFICATION
According to Wiarto (2017) fractures can be divided into three types namely
closed fractures, open fractures, and fracture complexity. The following is an
explanation of the three types of fractures above :
1. Transverse fractures are fault lines perpendicular to the long axis of the
bone.
2. Communitive fracture is the breakdown of the integrity of the tissue
consisting of two fragments.
3. Oblique fracture ie the fracture line makes an angle.
4. Segmental fractures are two adjacent fractures in one bone.
5. Impaction fractures are two bones pounding bones.
6. Spiral fracture is the result of limb torsion.
