  • Injuries from falls, sports, or vehicle crashes
  • Osteoporosis
  • Neoplasm
  • Stress fractures from overuse

Classification of Bone Fractures

  • Simple Fracture: Bone is broken in one place
  • Comminuted Fracture: Fracture is broken in several places, with at least 3 bone fragments
  • Open Fracture (also called Compound Fracture): The skin is injured, exposing the broken bone
  • Closed Fracture: The skin is intact over the broken bone
