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.
Bone fractures may occur at many different angles depending on the direction in which a force is applied to a bone. 1  Transverse fractures form perpendicular to the long axis of a bone and are the result of a force applied at a right angle to the bone. Oblique fractures are slanted fractures that occur when a force is applied at any angle other than a right angle to the bone. Spiral fractures are the result of an extreme twisting force being exerted on a bone.
