Fractures

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word fracture is defined as "the act of being broken." Fractures happen because an area of bone is not able to support the energy placed on it. The most common fracture prior to age 75 is a wrist fracture. In those over age 75, hip fractures become the most common.
