Multiple Bone Fractures. The broken ends of the bone line up and have not moved out of place. 5 Some may uncommonly occur as a result of clearly defined trauma such as road accidents.
In more severe cases the bone may be broken into several pieces. It is generally believed that fractures are common in patients with multiple myeloma as a result of lytic bone lesions generalized bone loss andor elevated bone turnover from excessive cytokine production but the actual risk of pathologic versus osteoporotic fractures has not been quantified. Some longbone fractures may occur at birth 2 in association with events such as shoulder dystocia 3.
The bone may or may not be visible in the wound.
Since considerable force and energy is required to fragment bone fractures of this degree occur after high-impact trauma such as in vehicular accidents. Avulsion fracture muscles are anchored to bone with tendons a type of connective tissue. Compression fracture occurs when two bones are forced against each other. Skull fractures may occur during forceps 4 and ventouse delivery.
