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.
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)
Rarely they may be due to osteonecrosis or tumors in the bone. [1] The most common area of fracture is at the condyle (36%), body (21%), angle (20%) and symphysis (14%). [1] Rarely the fracture may occur at the ramus (3%) or coronoid process (2%). While a diagnosis can occasionally be made with plain X-ray, modern CT scans are more accurate. [1]
Buckle fractures are an incomplete break in the bone that involves the cortex (outside) of the bone. Buckle fractures are stable and are the most common type. [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.
The Müller AO Classification of fractures is a system for classifying bone fractures initially published in 1987 [1] by the AO Foundation as a method of categorizing injuries according to therognosis of the patient's anatomical and functional outcome. "AO" is an initialism for the German "Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen", the ...

Mandible is a movable solitary bone forming the lower jaw. [12] It is composed of a mandibular body and two mandibular rami (singular: ramus [13]) on bilateral sides of the face. [14] The mandibular ramus contains the mandibular foramen, which is where the inferior alveolar nerve and artery enters. [14]
