You can't break it actually because it is not bone.


How much weight is necessary to break your tibia or fibula bone?

I think it depends on the health of the bone (s) and also the weight of the person injured. However, I'm no doctor, so if you or anyone you know is suspected to have a fractured tibia/fibula, bring them to a doctor asap.

Your question is a bit too broad, because it depends on what bone it is. That's not much of an answer, but if it helps any, I know that if you bend your elbow the way opposite that it is suppose to bend, it only takes 5 pounds of pressure to break it.


How much force to break a tibia?

I've broken my fibula before, and it didn't take much. i was playing soccer and collided with another player. Her shin bone hit the side of my leg (fibula) with considerable force. I never would have thought getting hit like that could break a bone, but it did.

The tibia is a bone in the lower leg. The tibia, along with the fibula, is responsible for carrying much of the weight in the body.

How much pressure does it take to break a metatarsal bone in your foot?

Generally speaking, it takes 3-7 pounds pressure across a joint, and 5-20 pounds across the length a bone to cause a fracture anywhere on a human skeleton. Some bones require more force to break, whereas others less. What is more critical is the angle of attack and location on the bone.


How does the bone break?

When you apply too much pressure for it to handle, your bone might break. I'd recommend NOT doing that to see if it's true, because it is! Ok? When it breaks, it can either do something like pop the joint, which is the normal not-so-bad-but-painful type, or it actually snaps in the middle of the bone, which can be very bad.
