Here are 5 images showcasing different types of fractures:

A high-energy fracture with complete disruption of the femoral diaphysis into multiple displaced fragments. The jagged, splintered pattern is characteristic of comminuted injuries.

AO classification 42A1c spiral fracture caused by torsional force. The fracture line wraps around the diaphysis in a helical pattern with lateral displacement and mild posterior angulation.

An incomplete fracture unique to children. Only the tension-side cortex breaks while the opposite cortex bows but remains intact, thanks to the thick periosteum in pediatric bone.

Multiple vertebral compression fractures with anterior wedging, most severe at T12. Classic presentation of osteoporotic/insufficiency fractures resulting in increased thoracic kyphosis.

A transverse fracture runs perpendicular (90°) to the long axis of the bone, typically caused by a direct bending force. The fracture line is straight across the shaft, and the two fragments are well-defined. Common sites include the femur and tibia.
