Wikipedia
impacted fracture
A bone fracture (abbreviated FRX or Fx, Fx, or #) is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of any bone in the body. In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several fragments, known as a comminuted fracture. A bone fracture may be the result of high force impact or stress, or a minimal trauma injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis, osteopenia, bone cancer, or osteogenesis imperfecta, where the fracture is then properly termed a pathologic fracture.

impacted fracture
An impacted fracture is a type of bone fracture where the broken ends of the bone are driven into each other due to force. This often occurs in long bones such as the femur or humerus, and can cause the fracture site to appear shorter than the same area on the opposite side of the body. Such fractures are often caused by high-impact traumas or falls.
