A member asked:
What is the difference between a bone break and a bone fracture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Symantecs: A fracture or break is the same thing. There are degrees of fractures or breaks. One can have a small crack in the bone and not be through and through or one can have total separation of the bone fragments. They really are one and the same.
