Fractures are broken bones. Most fractures occur from: * Sudden accelleration or decelleration -- car collisions, falls * Torsion -- sharp twists -- side car collisions etc. * Penetration trauma -- bullet wounds * Crushing or compression -- car acciddents, something falling on you * Repetitive Impact (jumping up and down for a few hours on a very hard surface can cause shin splints -- small, linear stress fractures).
What else can I help you with?
Where do rock fractures most commonly occur?
They don't really occur in an exact spot it is always different. Sourcs: Science Teacher
What are parallel rock fractures that occur along numerous flat surfaces?
The rock fractures you are describing are likely joint fractures. Joints are natural cracks or fractures that develop in rocks due to stress or cooling. When joints occur in parallel sets along flat surfaces, they are known as sheet joints or exfoliation joints.
What site do the most hip fractures occur?
head of the femur
What are compound fractures?
Compound fractures, also known as open fractures, occur when the broken bone pierces through the skin. This type of fracture poses a higher risk of infection compared to closed fractures where the bone remains beneath the skin. Immediate medical attention is required to clean the wound and stabilize the fracture.
Do greenstick fractures occur primarily in sports injuries in adults?
False
What types of injures occur largely in the feet and legs and are common in sports that require repetitive impact?
Stress fractures
Where do most fractures of the humerus occur?
Most fractures of the humerus occur in the middle of the bone, around the area of the shaft known as the diaphysis. This is due to the vulnerability of this part of the bone to direct trauma.
How does an avulsed fragment occur in fractures?
avulsed fragment occurs when bone fragments are pulled from their normal position by forceful muscle contractions or resistance from ligaments. Segmental fragmented positioning occurs if fractures in two adjacent areas occur
What kind of fracture occurs in impact testing?
In impact testing, brittle fractures commonly occur. These fractures are characterized by little to no plastic deformation before failure, and the fracture surface appears shiny and smooth. This type of fracture happens abruptly and without warning due to the rapid propagation of cracks under the applied load.
What can cause a compression fracture?
Compression fractures can be caused by osteoporosis, trauma inflicted on the back, and tumors that have started in the bone. Tumors that occur in the spine also cause compression fractures.
Which fractures tend to occur first when a pane of glass is struck?
The glass fractures outward from the point of impact. The particles that make up the glass break apart and move upward.
A condition in which bones becomes riddled with holes is called?
osteoporosis
