Fractures A fracture is a break‚ usually in a bone. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents‚ falls or sports injuries (Fractures: MedlinePlus). Stress fractures‚ which are very tiny cracks in the bone‚ can occur when there is an overuse of the bone which is common with athletes(Fractures: MedlinePlus). You may also be prone to broken bones if you have osteoporosis or another bone disease which causes weakening of the bones (Fractures: MedlinePlus).When I fractured my wrist I experienced

call a bone fracture. When a fracture occurs they are classified as either a compound (open) fracture or a simple (closed) fracture. A compound fracture would result if “the bone exits and is visible through the skin‚ or a deep wound that exposes the bone through the skin” (Pierce-Smith‚ 2008) whereas a simple fracture would result if “the bone is broken‚ but the skin is intact” (Pierce-Smith‚ 2008). Within these two different classifications there are multiple types of fractures such as greenstick
