Errr people... a fracture is a break. There is absolutely no difference. The only people who can have, I suppose a 'partial break' are kids whos bones haven't matured yet and are still soft. Fagan broke one of the two bones in his lower leg (tibia), so he would still have the other for support (the fibula), which is why he was still able to walk. No doubt it would still have hurt like a bitch though.
