The most frequent incomplete fracture in children, in which the bone is twisted, is called ________.

Correct option is C

Ans. (c)
Sol. The most frequent incomplete fracture in children, in which the bone bends and partially breaks, is called a greenstick fracture. Children's bones are more flexible than adults', making them more prone to this type of fracture when subjected to force. Greenstick fractures are common in falls and require immobilization for proper healing.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Spiral fracture – Incorrect, as a spiral fracture occurs when a bone is twisted with excessive force, typically in long bones.
· (b) Oblique fracture – Incorrect, as oblique fractures occur at an angle across the bone, often from a direct blow.
· (c) Greenstick fracture – Correct answer. It is an incomplete fracture commonly seen in children where the bone bends and breaks partially.
· (d) Transverse fracture – Incorrect, as a transverse fracture is a complete break that occurs straight across the bone.
