"Bone fragment" or "fragment" refers to a part of a bone that is normally part of another bone of a patient. A bone fragment may be partially or wholly separate from another bone of a patient due to a deformity, an osteotomy, a resection, and/or trauma. In one aspect, the bone that a bone fragment is normally part of, connected to, or joined with, is referred to as a parent bone.
