Linear fracture – a fracture that is parallel to the bone's long axis; Transverse fracture – a fracture that is at a right angle to the bone's long axis; Oblique fracture – a fracture that is diagonal to a bone's long axis (more than 30°) Spiral fracture – a fracture where at least one part of the bone has been twisted

VALORANT's seventh map Fracture notably deviates from the map design principles used in older maps, which can make trying it out it an intimidating prospect for newer players.
In a UK study involving nearly 6000 fractures seen in hospital, 3.6% were broken toes. [10] Fractures of big toes make up about a fifth [3] or third [8] of all toe fractures, and 5.5% of all foot and ankle fractures in major US trauma hospitals. [10] Toe fractures are the most common foot fractures. [8] About 20% of broken toes involve open ...
