Answer 1

The answer is impacted.

An impacted fracture is when the broken ends of the bone are pressed together by the force of the impact.
It's important to be treated as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

It can be treated with a splint, cast or sling.
In worst cases, it may be needed surgery.
