When a skier's body rotates in a direction opposite of the foot (held steady by the boot), what type of fracture is likely in the tibia?

Respuesta :

Answer;

-Spiral fracture

Explanation;

-A spiral fracture is a type of complete fracture. It occurs due to a rotational, or twisting, force. Complete fractures are categorized based on the way the bone breaks. Spiral fractures are caused by torsion or twisting of a long bone along its long axis.

-Spiral fractures are serious bone fractures because the bone is broken in complicated patterns and sometimes splinters making a spiral fracture very difficult to treat.
