📋Overview
Fractures refer to breaks or cracks in bones caused by trauma, stress, or underlying bone weakness. This term encompasses a wide range of bone injuries, from hairline cracks to complete breaks. Fractures are classified by their pattern, location, and severity, and modern terminology focuses on specific fracture types rather than the general term alone.
