GreenStick
A greenstick fracture is a partial bone break that typically occurs in children due to their more flexible and resilient bone composition. This fracture pattern is characterized by a break on one side of the bone while the other side remains intact and bends, similar to breaking a young, green tree branch. Greenstick fractures most commonly affect the long bones of the forearm but can also occur in other long bones throughout the body. Treatment generally involves immobilization with a cast to allow proper bone healing, though in some cases, it may be necessary to realign the bone before casting.
