'Doctor, have I got a fracture or a break'?

T J Peckham1.   

Abstract

Many patients apparently believe there is a difference between a fracture and a break. In a survey of 100 patients, 81 thought there was a difference. Of these, 71 thought a fracture was better than a break, and 65 believed that bone was undisplaced in a fracture and displaced in a break. These results suggest that greater care, including visual means, should be used in informing patients of their injuries.
