    • Spiral: Ragged break, caused by twisting force. Common in sports.
    • Epiphyseal: Epiphysis separates from diaphysis along epiphyseal plate, occurring where cartilage cells are dying and bone matrix is hardening.
    • Depressed: Broken bone is pressed inward, frequent in skull injuries.

    Fracture Repair

    • Closed (external) reduction: Bone ends coaxed back into alignment, often using casts.

    • Traction: Aligning the broken bones with use of weights hanging freely.

    Bone Disorders

    • Osteomalacia: Bone softening due to poor/faulty mineralization from impaired calcium, phosphate, or vitamin D metabolism.
    • Rickets: Analogous condition in children, more threatening due to rapid growth, causing long bones to enlarge abnormally.
    • Osteoporosis: Bone density loss from more bone resorption than deposition; common in older adults with decreasing sex hormone levels.
    • Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disorder marked by pain, stiffness, and reduced joint mobility due to cartilage breakdown.
