A broken bone. A fracture means a crack, but not completely broken. Both take time to heal, but generally "breaks" are more serious and problematic.
Peace and good luck...

A fracture and a broken bone are the same thing.
Some breaks are complete, some are not.
A greenstick fracture means the bone splinters like a green twig.
That type is more difficult to deal with.

I'd say a fracture, because you don't notice it right away, it drags on, you can't really put the thing in a cast. it takes longer to heal. I would "prefer" the "clean break" of a broken bone.

Yep! a ruin is worse than a fracture. A ruin is the position the bone actual breaks in 1/2 i wager you'll say. and that i fracture is even as the bone cracks. even even with the undeniable fact that even a fracture is a crack it nevertheless extremely hurts and could take time to heal, yet shes fortunate its not a ruin. i wish this helped you:)

they are not the same. A fracture is worse because it is an incomplete break and can not be reset. It usually takes longer to heal.

A fracture. It hurts much more and takes longer to heal.
