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
Do greenstick fractures occur primarily in sports injuries in adults?
False
What is difference between cracks and fracture?
Crack a result over prolonged time as it occur due to inter-relationship with the preceeding and succeding criteria whereas fracture occur suddenly when there is an external force applied over it.
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 can cause a compression fracture?

A condition in which bones becomes riddled with holes is called?
osteoporosis
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).
