Force & Types of Bone Fractures
Shearing
when force is applied a linear ______ type of fracture in the bone occurs.
Shearing
Force is applied, similar to bending, by the immobilization of one bone segment.
Compression
Fracture lines will often be numerous, wide-reaching and tend to radiate outward from the point of impact
True
T or F; There are five main classifications of cause of death.
Compression
The shape of the displaced bone will likely match the instument used to create the wound. (What type of force)
Compression
This type of force often occurs upon the skull
Accident, homicide, natural, suicide and unknown
What are the five main classifications of cause of death?
Compression
a force that pushes down on bone
Parry Fracture
caused by a bending force; is caused when a person holds up his/her arms to ward off a blow. a fracture to the ulnar bone in the arm.
Bending
force that impacts te bone at a right angle, cauging a triangluar break usually through its cross section
Shearing
is usually caused by a person attempting to stop themselves from falling
Torsion
one end of the bone is held stationary while the other end of the bone is twisted in some way
Bending
this type of force causes fracture lines at the point of impact or on the side opposite from the break
Torsion
twisting forces that occur most often in accidents
