A crushing force is usually responsible and there is often extensive injury to surrounding soft tissues.A fracture in which the bone is broken or splintered into pieces.A fracture characterized by multiple breaks in a bone, resulting in the formation of numerous fragments.A fracture characterized by the splintering of a bone into multiple fragments is known as a comminuted fracture. This type of injury often occurs as a consequence of a significant force, such as a high-impact collision in a car accident.
