Spiral fracture: This type of fracture is caused by a twisting force. The result is a spiral-shaped fracture line about the bone, like a staircase. Spiral fractures can be displaced or stable, depending on how much force causes the fracture.
Transverse fractures are sometimes called chalkstick fractures because the broken bone has been said to resemble a broken stick of chalk. Simple oblique fractures - are those in which the break is at an angle of 30 degrees (30o) or more to the long axis of the bone. Simple spiral fractures - the line of the fracture spirals around the bone, can be due to torsional forces.
