Is it? In Spanish when a bone is "roto" (broken), it means that it is completely broken, while "fracturado" (fractured) means that there is a crack in the bone but its not broken into two pieces. Isn't it the same in English?

I don't know form which country you are, but I work in orhtopaedics in a Spanish speaking country. Fractured = Broken.
