greenstick fracture
-
A greenstick fracture occurs when a bone bends and cracks,instead of breaking completely into pieces. it is like when to break "green" branch on a tree. Even mild greenstick fractures are usually immobilized in a cast. In addition to holding the cracked pieces of the bone together so they can heal, a cast can help prevent the bone from breaking all the way through if the child falls on it again.

bowing fracture
bowing fracture is the same as the greenstick because the fracture resembles a young green twig being bent.
There are three kinds of greenstick fractures Transverse fracture - fracture halfway across the bone.
Torus/buckling fracture - cortex is buckled and overlapped, caused by impaction.
Bowing fracture - bent bone with no distinct cortex disruption.
The bowing fracture is most common in the forearm, but they can also occur in the fibula.
