	Etiology, Classification, and Diagnosis of Fractures
		Spiral fracture indicates a fracture line that spirals along the long axis of the bone; it is caused by torsional twisting or rotational forces.
		Spiral fractures tend to have extremely sharp points and edges, which frequently accompany soft tissue trauma or an open fracture.
		The resulting fracture will be a very long spiral with sharp points and often sharp edges.

	Fracture crack disc decompression fracture spiral fracture of fibula
		It seems that the inspection of a fracture surface is sometimes misleading because the surface can have two distinct morphologies, which may not be due to fatigue, and a fracture which appears to have one morphology may be due to fatigue.
		This is commonly observed for a brittle fracture that changes to shear for the final small section - typically in the form of a "shear lip" around the edges of the cross section.
		I understand that for a fatigue failure, we sometimes find that a smooth fracture surface (sometimes with 'beach markings') is due to cyclic fatigue, and there is usually another region where catastrophic fracture has occurred when the fatigue crack has passed it's sub-critical length.

	Americans Over 50 at Risk for Bone Fractures
		The report also calls on health care professionals to help Americans maintain healthy bones by evaluating risks for patients of all ages and recommending bone density tests for women over the age of 65 and for men and women over 50 who suffer even a minor fracture.
		Osteoporosis and other bone diseases can lead to a downward spiral in physical health and quality of life, including losing the ability to walk, stand up, or dress.
		Bone density tests use X-rays or sound waves to measure how strong the bones are.

	Summary: fracture mechanics of bone
		It's my experience that the biological variability and the complexity of bone as a material/structure that trying to predict fracture configurations is difficult, except in the broadest terms eg spiral fracture is a a sign of a torsional load during injury.
		Fractures in life are either sudden and catastrophic events (where impact properties may have been more relevant to study) or slow progressive 'stress fracture' phenomena.
		He is nearing completion of his Ph.D. thesis on the fracture mechanics of bone and will probably be able to tell you why this technique has not been applied to whole bones.

	Spiral Welding Large Diameter Pipes - Volzhsky Pipe Plant
		Use of spiral welded pipes reduces losses in the event of the emergency destruction of pipelines since the spiral weld prevents the spreading of longitudinal main cracks in pipelines — the most dangerous type of destruction.
		Spiral welded pipes of large diameter are subject to hydrostatic tests and the total cycle of non-destructive control including:
		- it is possible to manufacture the spiral welded pipes of any diameter within the capacity of the mill according to both domestic and foreign standards without any necessity to use a large quantity of profile tools.

	Fractured Tibia & Fibula Due To Erotic Dancing
		Usually a twisting force causes a spiral fracture of the tibia and fibula 1 and some articles state stress fractures of the tibia and fibula are a result of increase of inappropriate strain with pre-existing risk factors such as connective tissue disorders, osteoperosis, early menopause, methotrexate, corticosteroids and prolonged immobilization
		There are few esoteric causes for a spiral tibia and fibula fracture to occur with only one case of a closed tibia and fibula fracture due to loss of attention secondary to excessive use of laxatives with diuretics
		It is a dance associated with gyrating movements of the hips and pelvis accompanied by swaying, spiral movements of the lower limbs while moving towards the ground.

	20931-8-III - Tay Conrad as Guardian of Enid Conrad, et al v. Alderwood Manor, et al File Date: 08/19/2003
		Conrad responds that Enid's spiral leg fracture was not the result of osteoporosis.
		Alderwood's first example is that separate and apart from pain and suffering, the jury awarded $560,000 in damages for the compound fracture, despite awarding only $35,000 for the broken leg which precipitated the fracture.
		Alderwood then concludes all damage claims must be retried because the femur fracture for which it is not responsible was a proximate cause of Enid's death, and the damage awards for her other inuries and death are all intertwined.

		Typically, this type of fracture is nondisplaced spiral fracture of distal tibia unrelated to child abuse.
		Fractures of the tibia generally are associated with fibula fracture, because the force is transmitted along the interosseous membrane to the fibula.

	US Dispensatory, 1918: CAMBOGIA. U. S.
		The inferior kinds of gamboge may be known by their greater hardness and coarser fracture; by the brownish or grayish color of their broken surface, which is often marked with black spots; by their obvious impurities, and by the green color which their decoction, after cooling, gives with tincture of iodine (starch).
		According to Beckett, Siam gamboge is obtained only from trees of not less than ten years of age and during the rainy months, from June to October, by cutting long, spiral grooves into the bark and collecting in hollow bamboos the sap which trickles down in a viscous stream.
		Gamboge is said to be procured in Siam by breaking off the leaves and shoots of the tree; the juice, which is contained in ducts or latex vessels in the bark, issues in drops, and, being received in suitable vessels, gradually thickens, and at length becomes solid.
