What is Fracture?

A fracture is a partial or complete break in the continuity of a bone, typically resulting from a force greater than the bone can structurally withstand, such as a fall, direct blow, or twisting injury. Fractures range widely in severity, from small hairline cracks to complex breaks where the bone is displaced or breaks through the skin. Bones weakened by conditions such as osteoporosis or tumors can also fracture with minimal trauma, known as a pathological fracture. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate immobilization or surgical stabilization are essential for proper healing and to prevent long-term deformity or dysfunction.
