A complete fracture occurs when a bone is separated into two or more parts. Complete fractures may divide a bone into individual segments, or a fragment of bone can be completely separated from the parent bone. An incomplete fracture typically involves only one cortical or subchondral compacta without propagating to another cortical or articular surface. Additional subcategories of incomplete fractures include fissure fractures, where a crack extends into but not through one cortex (seen commonly in the tibia and radius), and greenstick fractures, where the cortex loaded in tension fractures and the opposing cortex bends, such as those occasionally seen in the middle of the metacarpal/metatarsal diaphysis in foals [181].
