Fractures caused by trauma may be displaced in different ways depending on the force and direction of action of the trauma. The most common types of displacement are angular displacement, in which the fracture end moves at an angle in a certain direction, affecting the normal line of force. Lateral displacement, in which the distal end of the fracture moves laterally relative to the proximal end of the fracture. Shortening displacement is the shortening of the distal fracture end, mainly due to muscle pulling, etc. Dissociative displacement is the separation of the fracture segment at both ends. There is also rotational displacement, where the fracture end is rotated relative to the proximal fracture end, which is caused by a combination of violence and muscle forces. Significant fracture displacement can interfere with fracture healing and usually requires consideration of manipulation or surgical repositioning for fixation.
