Explain 5 common types of bone fractures?

Five common types of bone fractures include:

1. Simple (Closed) Fracture: The bone breaks but does not pierce the skin.
2. Compound (Open) Fracture: The bone breaks and protrudes through the skin, increasing the risk of infection.
3. Comminuted Fracture: The bone shatters into multiple pieces, often caused by high-impact trauma.
4. Greenstick Fracture: Typically seen in children, this fracture involves a partial break, where the bone bends but does not completely break.
5. Stress Fracture: A small crack in the bone resulting from repetitive force or overuse, common in athletes.
