incomplete fractures
1-greenstick
2-torus or buckle fractures
The bones of a child are more likely to bend than to break completely because they are softer and the periosteum is stronger and thicker. The fractures that are most common in children are the incomplete fractures; these fractures are the greenstick and torus or buckle fractures. (Wikipedia 14.10.16)
