Question 23
A stress fracture is caused by repeated stress on a bone, and it's also called a fatigue fracture. A double fracture is two breaks in a bone, a greenstick fracture is incomplete (common in kids), and a compound fracture involves the bone breaking through the skin—these don't match stress fracture.
The prefix "dactylo - " comes from Greek and refers to fingers or toes. "Elbow" has a different prefix, "wrist" is "carpo - ", and "hand" is "manu - " or related, so "dactylo - " means finger/toe.
