A linear occult fracture is a fracture that runs parallel to the long axis of a bone, but is not visible on x-ray. A linear occult fracture in the sacrum could be the result of a fall.

What is the bone that breaks during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, the bone that is most commonly associated with breaking is the sacrum, which is part of the pelvis. As the body prepares for childbirth, the hormone relaxin increases, allowing the pelvic joints to loosen and accommodate the growing fetus. This can lead to increased stress on the sacrum and pelvic area, making fractures or pain more likely, particularly during labor. However, actual bone fractures during pregnancy are relatively rare.
