What is a Greenstick Infracture?

escape89
I recently had rhinoplasty performed to reduce the width of my nose the side bones were moved in (greenstick infracture was performed). Just wondering what this is and if it can be reversed as my nose is now too thin. Also wondering is any bone taken out when this procudure is performed? Thanks
