An incomplete fracture in which the fracture is apparent only on convex surfaces is called a "greenstick fracture".
Explanation:
A greenstick fracture is the incomplete fracture of a young, flexible bone in which one side of the bone bends and the other side cracks instead of breaking completely into separate pieces.
It is usually found in the lower arms and lower legs of children under 10.
