Classificatio n of fractures    Traumatic from a single injury and may be: o Simple (closed) – no communication between the fracture site and a body surface o Compound (open) – some part of the fracture site communicates with body surface, hence risks of infection Traumatic – repeated injury – stress fracture Pathological – pre-existing inherited, congenital or acquired bone lesion or abnormality; resulting in fracture that can occurs with minimal injury and can even be spontaneous Traumatic fracture patterns       Transverse Oblique Spiral (ski boot) fracture of tibia and fibula Comminuted – multiple pieces Crush fracture – usually affects the flat bones, such as the vertebra and calcaneum Greenstick – incomplete fracture Pathological fractures (examples)   Inherited and congenital diseases – such as Osteogenesis imperfecta (have an impaired collagen synthesis), Osteopetrosis (failure of osteoclastic bone resorption), Neurofibromatosis (associated axial and long bone deformities), and Gaucher's disease (One of the rare lysosomal storage disorders = Reduced bone mass) Acquired disorders via metabolic and endocrine problems – such as Osteoporosis (can be caused by factors like hyperparathyroidism, Cushing syndrome / excess adrenal glucocorticoids), Osteomalacia (by Vitamin D deficiency), Paget’s disease (abnormal bone turnover and structurally unsound bone), Bone infections, and Tumours and tumourlike conditions like secondary malignant neoplasm, especially metastatic carcinoma
