Torus vs greenstick
These two fracture types are not the same thing.--Doc James (talk) 17:12, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes! Torus fracture redirects to Greenstick Fracture, but then "Greenstick fractures should not be confused with buckle fractures (or torus fractures)" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.164.86.219 (talk) 18:43, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

I've nominated the redirect for deletion. —/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 22:07, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Clinical features
"Which is problematic." What does that mean? Shrdlu junction (talk) 02:11, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Wording
Is "discovered" the right word in this context "It was discovered by British-American orthopedist, John Insall, and Polish-American orthopedist, Michael Slupecki." We're talking about a concept, so I would say no. I propose that we change it. Perhaps we could change it to "first described" Tjringsmose (talk) 13:43, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

First two sentences seem contradictory and confusing at the least
"A greenstick fracture is a fracture in a young, soft bone in which the bone bends and breaks. Greenstick fractures usually occur most often during infancy and childhood when bones are soft." This makes it sound like they can only occur in childhood, but then backs off on the assertion. There needs to be some sort of clarification here. 24cell (talk) 23:39, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
