| Hematopoiesis | Blood cell formation |
| Comminuted | Fracture in which bone breaks into multiple fragments |
| Spiral | Ragged fracture occurring from a twisting force |
| Simple | Clean break through the bone |
| Compound | Clean break through bone that penetrates through the skin |
| Compression | Crushing bone fracture |
| Depressed | Fracture in which the bone is pushed inwards |
| Impacted | Broken bone ends are forced into each other |
| Greenstick | Incomplete break in the bone |
| Ossification | Bone cell formation |
| Bone remodeling | Process occurring in response to calcium levels; maintains bone proportions |
| Hematoma formation | First step in fracture repair; blood-filled swelling |
| Fibrocartilage callus | Second step in fracture repair; close gap between bones |
| Bony calluse | Third step in fracture repair; spongy bone replaced fibrocartilage |
| Permanent patch | Fourth step in fracture repair; bone is remodeled to complete repair |
| Closed reduction | Fracture repair not requiring surgery; bone ends are put back in place |
| Open reduction | Fracture repair requiring surgery to hold bones in place with pins, wire, or rods |
