Fracture
Causes of Fracture:

Text

The most common causes of fracture include falls from a height, (more common among children and elderly), road traffic accidents or a direct blow.

In addition, repetitive force such as those caused by running can cause stress related fracture in the specific area involved such as the foot, ankle, tibia or hip.

Broken bones in young children, especially small girls should raise suspicion of child abuse.
