Fractures in Children
A fracture is a partial or complete break in the bone. When a fracture happens, it is classified as either open or closed. Fractures happen when more force is applied to the bone than the bone can absorb. Breaks in bones can happen from falls or trauma, or as a result of a direct hit to the body.
