What does nondisplaced fracture mean?

What does nondisplaced fracture mean? Fractures can be placed into two general categories: displaced or nondisplaced.

In a displaced fracture, the bone has shifted significantly and the fractured ends of the bone are no longer in proper alignment.

What is closed or nondisplaced fracture?

According to the accepted nondisplaced fracture definition, the bone must be split into two or more parts. Fragments of the bone may break off, but they will remain in proper alignment, as opposed to hovering nearby. This is why the nondisplaced fracture is often also a closed fracture, which does not puncture the skin.

What is the difference in a nondisplaced and displaced fracture?

The moment of impact upon injury generally makes a difference in the type of fracture that takes place. Displaced and nondisplaced fractures differ in the breakage of the bone. Whereas in nondisplaced fractures the bone does not always crack all the way through, displaced fractures are out of alignment.
