How does someone get a greenstick fracture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Greenstick fracture: Greenstick fractures are common in kids where the bone is more flexible as in a green-stick when you bend it until it breaks. These are incomplete fractures as one side is bent and one side is fractured.
