Naming a Fracture
Captions available
The idea
Naming a fracture means stating three things: whether the skin is broken, how the bone broke, and where the break sits.
In practice
Three fracture descriptions built from terms.
Where people slip
Each of these terms describes what happened to the bone. None of them names what follows.
