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
