Twisted Fracture

A twisted fracture occurs when a bone is subjected to a twisting force, causing it to break in a spiral or helical pattern. This type of fracture often results from a rotational injury, like a fall or accident where the limb is twisted forcibly. The crack runs along the length of the bone, resembling a corkscrew. Twisted fractures can be complex, sometimes involving multiple fracture lines, and may require surgical intervention to realign the bone properly. They are common in arms and legs and need careful treatment to ensure correct healing and restore full function.
