6. Compression fracture: There is crushing of bone and the bone appears to be flatter or wider than normal.
7. Segmental fracture: In this type of fracture there is a floating of bone due to fracture of a single bone from two places.
8. Avulsion fracture: If a fracture occurs near a ligament or tendon and a bone is pulled with tendon or ligament.
