How do fractures commonly occur?

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).
