The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, we need to identify the type of fracture described. Let's break down the information step by step: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for a specific type of fracture where a small piece of bone is broken but remains attached to a ligament. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: - **Fracture**: A break in the bone. - **Small piece of bone**: Indicates that the fracture is not extensive. - **Attached to a ligament**: This suggests that the broken piece is still connected to the surrounding soft tissue. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Greenstick Fracture**: This type of fracture is characterized by a partial fracture where the bone bends and cracks but does not break completely. This does not match our description. - **Comminuted Fracture**: In this case, the bone is shattered into multiple pieces. This also does not fit the description. - **Compound Fracture**: This involves the bone breaking and protruding through the skin, which is not relevant here. - **Avulsion Fracture**: This type of fracture occurs when a small piece of bone is pulled away by a ligament or tendon. This matches the description given in the question. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is an **Avulsion Fracture**. ### Final Answer: The fracture in which a small piece of the bone is broken but remains attached with the ligament is known as an **Avulsion Fracture**. ---
