1 The prothrombin or vitamin Kâdependent group includes factors II, VII, IX, and X. 2  The fibrinogen group includes factors I, V, VIII, and XIII. 3  They are the most labile of the factors and are consumed during the coagulation process.
It is important to classify the type of fracture, because some fractures are more difficult to treat than others. Intra-articular fractures, open fractures, comminuted fractures, and displaced fractures (when the broken pieces of bone do not line up straight).are more difficult to treat, for example. Sometimes, the other bone of the forearm (the ulna) is also broken. This is called a distal ulna fracture.
Some fracture types are: 1  A Greenstick fracture is an incomplete fracture in which the bone is bent. 2  A transverse fracture is when the broken piece of bone is at a right angle to the bone's axis. 3  An oblique fracture is when the break has a curved or sloped pattern.  A comminuted fracture is when the bone breaks into several pieces.
