2. Falls, accidents, and sports injuries are common causes of fractures.
3. Car accidents and direct blows to the bone can lead to fractures.
4. Weak bones due to conditions like osteoporosis increase fracture risk.
5. Overuse or repetitive stress can cause stress fractures.
6. Children’s bones are more flexible, often leading to different types of fractures.
7. Fracture risk increases with age due to bone density changes.
8. Certain medical conditions, like cancer, can weaken bones and lead to fractures.
9. Poor nutrition and vitamin deficiencies may contribute to bone weakness.
10. Preventing fractures involves safety measures and maintaining bone health.”
