2. Oblique non-displaced- A fracture that is diagonal to the bone's long axis and the fractured bone is not displaced from its position.
3. Oblique displaced- A fracture that is diagonal to the bone's long axis and the fractured bone is displaced from its position.
4. Spiral- Ragged break occurs when excessive twisting forces are applied to a bone (common sports fracture).
5. Greenstick - Bone breaks incompletely, just like a green twig breaks. It is common in children, because of the flexibility of the bones.
