Fracture

A fracture refers to a broken bone resulting from injury, trauma, or repetitive stress. Fractures can vary in severity, ranging from hairline cracks to complete breaks that cause the bone to separate into two or more pieces. They can occur in any bone of the body, with common sites including the wrist, ankle, hip, and long bones of the arms and legs. Follow-up care, including periodic monitoring and imaging, may be needed to assess healing progress and adjust treatment as necessary.
