medical condition

break in a rib bone

fatigue-induced fracture of the bone caused by repeated stress over time

break of a bone in the base of the skull

fracture of the distal radius bone

medical condition

break in one or more of the eight bones that form the cranial portion of the skull

break of the part of the radius bone which is close to the wrist

break of the part of the bone of the upper arm that is closer to the shoulder joint

fracture of the distal third of the radius with dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint

break through the mandibular bone

break of the humerus bone in the upper arm

fractures of the hip bone

break between the base and middle part of the fifth metatarsal of the foot

temporary new bony tissue that forms at the ends of a fractured bone

medical condition

fracture of the proximal third of the ulna with dislocation of the proximal head of the radius

Fracture of the scaphoid bone in the wrist

tearing away of a bone by physical trauma

bone fracture caused by weakness of the bone structure

medical condition

medical condition

fracture that involves the epiphyseal plate or growth plate of a bone

medical condition

type of fracture/dislocation injury of the foot

medical condition

thumb|right|X-ray of a child's femur, showing a bony sequestrum indicated by the blue arrow. A sequestrum (plural: sequestra) is a piece of dead bone that has become separated during necrosis from normal or sound bone. It is a complication (sequela) of osteomyelitis.

fracture of the base of the first metacarpal bone

spiral fracture of the proximal third of the fibula

medical condition

fracture of the distal radius

term

medical condition

Nonunion is permanent failure of healing following a broken bone unless intervention (such as surgery) is performed. A fracture with nonunion generally forms a structural resemblance to a fibrous joint, and is therefore often called a "false joint" or pseudoarthrosis (from Greek pseudo-, meaning false, , meaning joint, and -osis, meaning abnormal condition). The diagnosis is generally made when there is no healing between two sets of medical imaging, such as X-ray or CT scan. This is generally after 6–8 months.
