    Glossary Fractures

    partial or complete breaks in bone continuity

    Fractures, commonly known as broken bones, occur when there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of a bone. This can result from trauma, such as a fall or collision, or from conditions that weaken the bones, like osteoporosis. Fractures are classified by their complexity (simple or compound), location, and the pattern of the break (e.g., transverse, spiral, comminuted). Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to ensure proper healing and to prevent complications.
