Acomplete fracture is a bone break that completely disrupts the continuity of a bone across its entire width. This is in contrast to incomplete fractures, in which only some of the bone trabeculae are completely sectioned, while others are twisted or remain intact.
A complete fracture can be transverse, which means straight across the bone, oblique, which means at an angle, and spiral, which means at an angle that is twisted.
This type of fracture can be complicated by swelling. The swelling can push the two segments of bone away from each other, making it important to immobilize the injured area and obtain medical attention as soon as possible.

Causes of Complete Bone Fractures
When too much pressure is applied to a bone, it can result in a fracture. Fractures are commonly caused by a fall, strike by an object or by twisting or bending of the bone.
A complete fracture may be sustained in accidents such as a car accident, trip and fall, slip and fall, a pedestrian knockdown or a motorcycle accident.
