Aus Dornheim Anatomy
Based on the number of fragments, there are different generic terms for fractures. If there is only one fracture gap, it is called a single fragment fracture. Multiple fragment fractures (Multi-segment fractures) are fractures with three to six fragments, here the bone is broken several times. A fracture with exactly three fragments, i.e. two fracture lines is again separately called piece fracture, this is a subtype of the multi-fragment fracture. All fractures with more than six fragments are called comminuted fracture.
