Types of Fractures
A fracture is a bone break or crack that often changes the shape of the bone. Although they can come in a variety of ways, a Denver broken bone attorney at our firm will tell you that some of the most common fractures include:
- Stable: The broken parts of the bone remain lined up, meaning that it can likely heal on its own.
- Stress: Also called a hairline fracture, this injury often occurs because of overuse. It can also heal on its own, with rest.
- Compound: The bone breaks through the skin or causes an open wound, raising the risk of infection.
- Complete: The bone is entirely broken.
- Comminuted: The bone shatters into three or more pieces.
- Oblique: The fracture happens at an angle, usually in longer bones.
- Transverse: The fracture happens in a horizontal line.
Treatment varies widely based on the type of fracture, and healing time can range from a matter of weeks to months. Unfortunately, that may limit your ability to earn a paycheck, creating financial stress for you and your family. A Denver broken bone lawyer at our firm can help you identify those responsible and seek compensation for your injury.
