Fractures most commonly occur when more stress is given to the bone than it can withstand. When bones are twisted, they become the weakest. Bone fractures can occur as a result of a fall, an injury, or a direct hit or kick to the body.
Overuse or repetitive actions can exhaust muscles and increase bone pressure. This results in stress fractures. Diseases that weaken the bone can also cause fractures. This includes osteoporosis and bone cancer.
