Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind fractured region does not experience a fracture again from a similar kind of stress.
Introduction:
When a bone breaks partially or fully by the influence of an external stress, it is known as a fracture. Based on the location of the fracture, it can be of various types, such as hairline fracture, greenstick fracture, comminuted fracture, and pathological fracture. The healing of a fractured bone involves various processes.
