A greenstick fracture is a fracture in a young, soft bone in which the bone bends and breaks. Greenstick fractures occur most often during infancy and childhood when bones are soft. The name is by analogy with green (i.e., fresh) wood which similarly breaks on the outside when bent.
Cracked tooth syndrome could be considered a type of dental trauma and also one of the possible causes of dental pain.One definition of cracked tooth syndrome is "a fracture plane of unknown depth and direction passing through tooth structure that, if not already involving, may progress to communicate with the pulp and/or periodontal ligament."
The bone is still more malleable and can be remodelled relatively 'simply' by greenstick fractures of the bone. [54] At approximately one year of age the bone has become more mineralized and brittle and needs to be attached to the surrounding bone with sutures or an absorbable plate.
Type 1: A fracture at the junction of the shaft and distal extremity of the radius (occurs only in children between the age of 1 and 15 years, and is most commonly a greenstick fracture) Type 2: Slipping of the epiphysis with dorsal displacement, often with a dorsally avulsed triangular fragment of the radius (occurs in the age range 10-20 years)
A ramus (Latin: branch) refers to an extension of bone, [9] such as the ramus of the mandible in the jaw or superior pubic ramus. Ramus may also be used to refer to nerves, such as the ramus communicans. A facet refers to a small, flattened articular surface. [citation needed]
The following scenario would mean the hated rivals get a third meeting this season and a second in Baltimore: Steelers loss (vs. CIN) AND Chargers win (at LV) Los Angeles Chargers.
This could mean a return to hybrid popularity. According to recent data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) , hybrid electric vehicles were 8.6% of the light-duty vehicle market ...

[4] Greenstick fractures are a bone that is broken only on one side and the bone bows to the other side. [4] Greenstick fractures are unstable and often occur in younger children.
