In a burst fracture the bone bursts, which means that there is a centripetal displacement of the fragments. Such fractures occur mainly in the skull and vertebral bodies. This fracture is caused by the action of blunt force and is accompanied by star-shaped fracture lines and often the indentation of fragments. Burst fractures of vertebral bodies are particularly dangerous because bone fragments could shift into the vertebral canal.
