âSherpa lining,â in the garment industry, refers to a polyester lining with a deep pile and large, fuzzy ânapsâ that give it a bumpy texture. The overall effect is similar to real sheepâs wool, but sherpa lining is lighter weight, much less bulky, and faster-drying. Itâs also considerably cheaper, and avoids any ethical concerns about animal products.
A broken bone, or fracture, happens when excessive force applied to your bone causes it to break or shatter. Some fractures break the bone completely, while others just cause a crack in the bone. Fracture types vary depending on the circumstances of your injury and the amount of force applied to the bone. A simple fracture happens when the bone is broken into two pieces. 2  An open or compound fracture happens when a piece of bone protrudes through your skin or if the force of the injury breaks the skin. 3  A closed fracture happens when the bone is broken, but the skin is intact.
A fracture is a break or a crack in a bone. A fracture occurs when force exerted against a bone is stronger than the bone can structurally withstand. The most common sites for bone fractures are the wrist, ankle and hip. Treatment includes immobilising the bone with a plaster cast, or surgically inserting metal rods or plates to hold the bone pieces together.
