Causes
Fractures are often a result of direct or indirect force acting on the bone, such as accidents, blows, or falls. In addition, pre-existing conditions such as osteoporosis, bone metastases, or a bone tumor can reduce the bone's resistance and be the cause of a fracture. In addition to violence and pre-existing conditions, a fracture can be caused by overload and fatigue; in this context, it is referred to as a fatigue fracture.
