Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The process involved in fracture repairing.

Introduction:

Although bone has high mineral power, it can fracture due to a substantial increase or a sudden impact. Fractures are breaks in bones that can happen in several ways. A stress fracture is a very thin break in the bone which is caused by an increase in physical activity and repetitive loads. A pathologic fracture happens when a bone is weakened by any disease. The broken bone is a simple fracture that does not penetrate the skin, while, in a compound fracture either one or both ends of the bone that is broken pierce the overlying skin.
