Adult & Child Fractures

Fractured means broken. Whether you have a complete or a partial fracture, you have a broken bone.

A bone may be completely fractured or partially fractured in any number of ways (cross-wise, lengthwise, in the middle).

How Do Fractures Happen?
Fractures can happen in a variety of ways, but there are three common causes:

• Trauma accounts for most fractures. For example, a fall, a motor vehicle accident or a tackle during a football game can all result in a fracture.
• Osteoporosis also can contribute to fractures. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that results in the "thinning" of the bone. The bones become fragile and easily broken.
• Overuse sometimes results in stress fractures. These are common among athletes.
