Bones, our body's unsung heroes, provide the framework that enables all our movements. However, these pillars of strength can falter, resulting in various types of fractures.

Stress fractures are small cracks caused by overuse or repetitive high-impact activities. Often found in athletes or military recruits, these fractures can gradually lead to discomfort. Similarly, hairline fractures are fine cracks that may not disrupt the bone structure entirely but could lead to severe injuries if ignored.

In children, greenstick fractures are common, reflecting the flexibility of their bones. These fractures, akin to a green tree branch bending and cracking but not breaking entirely, are unique to the pediatric population.

Transverse fractures, with a horizontal fracture line, occur when a force is applied perpendicularly to a bone. Oblique fractures, in contrast, have an angled pattern. If displaced, these fractures indicate significant bone movement during the break, possibly necessitating surgery. Non-displaced oblique fractures, however, show fragments that haven't moved far out of alignment.

Segmental fractures involve two or more fracture lines in the same bone, resulting in at least three separate bone segments. Often caused by high-energy injuries, they usually involve substantial soft tissue damage. Spiral fractures, caused by a twisting force, result in a fracture line spiraling around the bone.

Avulsion fractures occur when a tendon or ligament pulls a small piece of bone away from the main bone, typically due to a sudden forceful muscle contraction. Comminuted fractures, on the severe end, involve the bone shattering into three or more pieces, often from high-energy impacts or trauma.

Compound fractures, where the bone pierces the skin, pose a high risk of infection and require immediate medical attention. Pathological fractures occur in bones weakened by diseases like osteoporosis or cancer, reflecting an internal bone wear rather than trauma.

Props to the guy who broke his bones for us to learn

[Avatar_Of_Chaos]

Both of these will decrease your movement speed or cannot walk anymore.

[Inventiveness_]

Poor dude broke the most painful bone to break so many times

[douglasgarrett]

Finally something educational on YouTube. Positively fascinating

[doj_]

Props to those dudes for goin through femur breaker for our education 🤯🤯🤯

[UnuUnu]

Respect for this guy he broke his leg many times to just show us different types of bone fracturese

[Thy_Grand_Marshal]

(The split in half one is what I like to call “FATALITY.”)

[suzysrn]

One time my dad got an open fracture on his arm while playing basketball as a kid and he asked his friends "does it look broken" sarcastically

[LAZY]

Rip me watching with a fracture in my leg

[Tankthunder]

I spiral fractures my lower left leg two years ago and damn it hurt I can't even begin to imagine how much the open one would hurt

[minhngo]

The femur bone is the strongest bone in the human body, that's why we feel so much pain when we've broken one

[Nicocotonyt]

How tf did this man break his FEMUR so many times (Ik it’s an animation but this is the most unrealistic bone to choose)

[art.z]

I have a fractured arm atm, and I have never repeated “ouch” while wincing so many times watching this. 🤣

[ChaseMaceFace]

The fact that AI mannequin didn’t scream in pain is crazy 😳😳

[loker]

Как по мне 4 перелом доставляет больше ярких эмоций

[ambergaming]

He just explained that the bones can break into 957 ways💀

[BMGOyt]

Comminuted really got me holding my legs💀💀

[govindanr]

really very super please kindly post many videos very useful ortho beginning doctors also

[easy_eight]

Breaking a femur is perhaps the most painful experience you *might* experience
