Whats the diffrence between a fracture and a break?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No difference: Technically there is no difference because fracture comes from the latin fracturus which means broken fragment. Fractures themselves are divided into three categories: : non-displaced fracture, displaced fracture, and stress fracture.
