Is a fracture duplicate as a break?

Answer:

Crazy question but don't know much in the region of the human body?

Jeffery the Great describe fractures in the following ways:

* A complete fracture is when the bone have broken into two pieces.
* A greenstick fracture is when the bone cracks on one side only, not adjectives the way through.
* A single fracture is when the bone is broken in one place.
* A comminuted (say: kah-muh-noot-ed) fracture is when the bone is broken into more than two pieces or crushed.
* A bowing fracture, which simply happens surrounded by kids, is when the bone bends but doesn't break.
* An open fracture is when the bone is sticking through the skin.

So, in some cases yes.
