I crushed my cuboid bone by dropping 2600 pounds on it along with a severe fracture to the 5th metatarsal. I cant find any info on the diffrence between a crush and a fracture
Answer:
Crush is a variety of fracture which is the overall term for any break in the continuity of bone(classic definition of a fracture).
Take a pretzel and snap it in half. That would be a break. Now hit the pretzel with a hammer. Crush.
Crushed it is when something actually will make your bone flat and into pieces and fractured is when it is a clean snap
a crushed bone is very hard to heal and is in many different peices.a fractured bone is like a crack in it .they healy very quicklyand are easy to fix.also crushed bones some time lead to aputation.
Take a piece of chalk and break it in half that is a fracture.Now take one piece of that chalk a pound it with a hammer thats crushed. get it?
