Broken bones

Broken Bones
Broken bones are classified by direction it's broken. Types of facture:
 * 1)  Linear fracture : A fracture that is parallel to the bone's long axis. Treatment includes splinting and bandaging. The bone should not have any pressure or stress on it for a week's time.
 * 2) Spiral fracture: A fracture where at least one part of the bone has been twisted. Treament includes aligning the bone and splinting/bandaging.
 * 3) Comminuted fracture: A fracture in which the bone has broken into several pieces. Treatment includes tightly binding the splintered pieces together via a bandage and using a splint.
 * 4) Impacted fracture: A fracture caused when bone fragments are driven into each other. Treatment includes surgery to remove the pieces, closing the wound, and splinting/bandaging.
 * 5) Avulision fracture: A fracture where a fragment of bone is separated from the main mass. Treatment includes surgery to secure the bone fragment back to the rest of the bone and then splinting/bandage.
