The separation of a splinter by direct violence,unaccompanied by a wound of the soft parts, occurs in the bones of theface, at the crest of the ilium, and at exposed points upon the extremi-ties of the long bones. Avulsion of an apophysis, or of a scale of bone, by muscular actionis a far more common accident than the one just described. The lesionconsists in the fracture of an apophysis at its base or in the tearingoff of a portion of bone to which a muscle or tendon is attached. 2. Complete Fractures. The term complete, when applied to a fracture of a long bone, indi-cates that the bone is divided by a line of fracture crossing from sideto side or obliquely across the end. Fig. 3. Fig. 4. Fig. A
