Technically, YES.
But, many bones in the body are very small, and don't normally experience a lot of major stresses. As a result, the probability of fracturing certain bones is higher than others. Long bones like the radius and ulna in your forearm are more likely to fracture during a fall than the little carpal bones in your hand. Whereas, the small carpal bones in your hand can be fractured if a large and heavy object is dropped on them. Small repetitive stresses can also result in the fracture of smaller bones, such as the stress fractures that can occur in the feet of runners.
