Blue stick fracture

Green branch fractures are more common in children. The two "green branches" are borrowed. In the green shoots of the plant, it is often seen that it is broken and constantly. Children's bones contain more organic matter, and the outer periosteum is particularly thick, so it has good elasticity and toughness in mechanics, and it is not easy to break. Fractures that occur during violence will appear like green branches. As the situation continues, orthopedic surgeons call this special fracture a green branch fracture. Because the bones are "broken" but not "broken" when they are broken, they are generally stable fractures and usually do not require surgery. Green branch fractures of the limbs were treated well with plaster external fixation.
