1. Transverse fracture: A straight break across the bone.
2. Oblique fracture: A diagonal break across the bone.
3. Spiral fracture: A break that twists around the bone.
4. Comminuted fracture: A break that results in multiple bone fragments.
5. Greenstick fracture: An incomplete break where the bone is bent but not completely broken.
6. Stress fracture: A hairline crack in the bone caused by repetitive stress or overuse.
7. Avulsion fracture: A break that occurs when a fragment of bone is pulled away by a tendon or ligament.
8. Compression fracture: A break that occurs when the bone is crushed or compressed.
9. Pathological fracture: A break that occurs in a bone weakened by a disease or condition, such as osteoporosis or cancer.

Types of Bone Fractures
1. Transverse Fractures
- Break perpendicular to the bone's long axis.
- Usually caused by direct impact or bending forces.
2. Oblique Fractures
- Break at an angle to the bone's long axis.
- Caused by twisting or shearing forces.
3. Spiral Fractures
- Break in which the fracture line spirals around the bone.
- Caused by twisting forces.
4. Greenstick Fractures
- Break in which one side of the bone is fractured but the other side is bent.
- More common in children with immature bones.
5. Comminuted Fractures
- Break in which the bone is shattered into multiple pieces.
- Usually caused by high-energy trauma.
6. Pathologic Fractures
- Break that occurs in a weakened bone due to disease or another condition.
- Can occur from minor trauma or even normal activity.
7. Avulsion Fractures
- Break in which a small piece of bone is torn off by a ligament or tendon.
- Often seen in sports injuries.
8. Impacted Fractures
- Break in which one fragment of bone is driven into the other.
- Can cause significant pain and instability.
9. Open Fractures (Compound Fractures)
- Break in which the fractured bone extends through the skin.
- Increases the risk of infection and requires immediate medical attention.
10. Closed Fractures (Simple Fractures)
- Break in which the fractured bone does not extend through the skin.
- Typically requires non-surgical treatment, such as casting or splinting.
