Transverse fractures and transverse process fractures are different types of bone fractures. Even though they have similar names, they re very different injuries. Transverse fractures occur when your bone is broken perpendicular to its length. The fracture pattern is a straight line that runs in the opposite direction of your bone.

Longitudinal fractures make up 70 to 90% of temporal bone fractures, and transverse fractures make up 10 to 30%. Treatment of Temporal Bone Fractures.
Spinal fractures may be isolated to the spinous or transverse processes. Transverse process fractures are often not visible with X-ray - (only seen on CT), and
process fractures on plain tomogram - CT lumbar spine transverse process fracture - Radiographs and CT thoracic spinous process fractures
Transverse Fracture A fracture in which the line is perpendicular to the long axis of the bone . Oblique Fracture A fracture in which the
Transverse fractures are complete fractures that traverse the bone perpendicular to the axis of the bone. The fracture involves the cortex
In sports, a transverse process fracture is a spine fracture that typically occurs due to a helmet to the back or a hard pull from the back
Comments
Fracture = broken. We have lots of terms to describe the fracture, but a fracture is a break.
People can walk on a broken ankle if they are tough enough to take the pain and the tibia is not where the fracture is.
She would have had an x-ray about a week after the surgery to confirm it was well healing.
Plaster? We more often use water activated fiberglass these days. Less heat as it cures, sets quicker.
Very likely she would have been put in a walking boot.
Advil = Motrin = ibuprofen. Each pill is 200mg, so three were a good choice, four a bit better. Redose after six hours if the pain has returned.
