There are many different types of fracture, the most common of which is a simple fracture, when a bone breaks cleanly. If you put out your arms when you fall, you could end up with an impacted fracture, where the ends of two bones are forced into one another. A sharp sudden twist of a bone in a game of football could result in a jagged spiral fracture. Road accidents often cause comminuted fractures, where a bone breaks into fragments, or compression fractures, where a bone is crushed.[http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/body/articles/skeleton/broken_bones.shtml] | There are many different types of fracture, the most common of which is a simple fracture, when a bone breaks cleanly.
