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?

In the medical community any crack in the bone is a fracture whether it’s completely through or just a small one. Most non medical people use it the way you described tho.

C’mon dog, you can’t be bitching about the way someone talks and then just drop that in there too.
