Displaced fractures. Displaced fractures are generally more complex because the bones are out of alignment, or they may be in several pieces. The broken bone snaps out of place, and the broken ends do not line up correctly.
A displaced fracture means the pieces of your bone moved so much that a gap formed around the fracture when your bone broke. Non-displaced fractures are still broken bones, but the pieces weren’t moved far enough during the break to be out of alignment.
In a displaced fracture, the bone snaps into two or more parts and moves so that the two ends are not lined up straight. If the bone is in many pieces, it is called a comminuted fracture.
Fracture of a bone, in which the parts of the bone break and move from their original position is called a displaced fracture. Treatment for displaced fracture usually includes immobilization using splints, casts or traction and reduction is mostly performed to re-align the bone fragments.
A displaced or unstable fracture happens when the broken bone ends are out of alignment, requiring more complex treatment, often including surgery. The healing time can extend to several months, depending on the severity and the need for surgical intervention.
nondisplaced fracture, in which your bone breaks into pieces that stay in their normal alignment; displaced fracture, in which your bone breaks into pieces that move out of their normal...
Displaced fracture. In this type of fracture, the bone fragments on each side of the break are not aligned. A displaced fracture may require surgery to realign the bones properly.
A displaced fracture means the pieces of your bone moved so much that a gap formed around the fracture. Non-displaced fractures are still broken bones, but the pieces weren’t moved far enough to be out of alignment during the break.
A displaced fracture means the pieces of your bone moved so much that a gap formed around the fracture when your bone broke. Non-displaced fractures are still broken bones, but the pieces didn’t move far enough to be out of alignment during the break.
A displaced fracture is one in which two or more portions of broken bone come out of proper alignment. Severe cases can include a comminuted fracture (in which bone shatters into multiple pieces) and/or an open fracture (also called a compound fracture), in which an open skin wound occurs in conjunction with the fracture.
