5.15 Types of Forces That Can Impact Tissue [20, 21]

Tensile: A force that pulls on tissue, for example, the force generated when there is motion or an impact and tendons and/or ligaments pull on a bone.

Compressive: A force that pushes on tissue, for example, when a blunt object impacts tissue or tissue impacts the ground because of a fall or being thrown to the ground. The angle of impact influences the effect of the compressive force.

Bending force: Applied to a specific focal point on the bone perpendicular to the long axis of the bone and result in transverse or short oblique fractures of the diaphysis.

Torsion: When the force applied causes tissue rotation.

Shearing: The applied force causes tissue planes to slide past one another.

Additional types of forces: tearing, cleavage, crushing, expansion, bursting, and extraction.
