Bone fracture

A bone fracture (sometimes abbreviated FRX or Fx, Fx, or #) is a medical condition in which there is a damage in the continuity of the bone. A bone fracture can be the result of high force impact or stress, or a minimal trauma injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis, bone cancer, or osteogenesis imperfecta, where the fracture is then properly termed a pathologic fracture.

Although broken bone and bone break are common colloquialisms for a bone fracture, break is not a formal orthopedic term.

Signs and symptoms

Although bone tissue itself contains no nociceptors, bone fracture is painful for several reasons:

  • Breaking in the continuity of the periosteum, with or without similar discontinuity in endosteum, as both contain multiple pain receptors.
  • Edema of nearby soft tissues caused by bleeding of torn periosteal blood vessels evokes pressure pain.
  • Muscle spasms trying to hold bone fragments in place. Sometimes also followed by cramping.
  • Broken Bones

    Broken Bones may refer to:

  • Bone fracture
  • Broken Bones (band), an English hardcore punk band
  • Broken Bones (album), an album by Dokken
  • "Broken Bones" (song), a song by Love Inc.
  • Broken Bones (song)

    "Broken Bones" is the debut title of a song recorded by Canadian eurodance group Love Inc.. It was released in November 1997 as the leadoff single from the album Love Inc. and as a cut on the Club Cutz 3 compilation released by RCA Records in the United States. The song lyrics dealt with a person, who despite being a victim of prejudice from others, succeeding in making their dreams come true.

    Despite the single reaching the top spot on RPM's Dance Chart and peaking at No. 6 on its Canadian Airplay Chart in March 1998, it only got as far as No. 31 on the RPM Top 100 singles chart in May 1998 during its fifteen-week run there. However, the song's video would also help the act win a Best Video and Best Dance Video award at the 1998 MuchMusic Video Awards. and the song itself would give the act a Juno Award for Best Dance Recording in 1999. It would find success overseas four years after the group broke up, where it reached No. 8 in the United Kingdom in 2003.

    Broken Bones

    by: Aiden

    when i was fifteen
    i knew that the world was our tv
    we were dying out there
    thriving on the streets
    i was fifteen
    i knew i fucking lost the choice in appeal
    well i paid destruction
    found decay in the comfort of the disarray
    will you buy the ticket, take the ride?
    woah woah woah
    journey through this hell with me
    woah woah woah
    broken bones and sorrow
    woah woah woah
    journey through this hell with me
    woah woah woah
    i'm gonna you death and show you life obscene
    now it's been fifteen years
    most of us are gone or dead or in jail
    well i found solution, paid the price
    in the comfort of a cold device
    will you buy the ticket, take the ride?
    woah woah woah
    journey through this hell with me
    woah woah woah
    broken bones and sorrow
    woah woah woah
    journey through this hell with me
    woah woah woah
    i'm gonna you death and show you life obscene
    we all live in fear
    afraid of who we can be
    we all live in fear
    afraid of what we are
    we can shed our fear
    we will shed our fear
    woah woah woah
    journey through this hell with me
    woah woah woah
    broken bones and sorrow
    woah woah woah
    take a trip through hell with me
    woah woah woah
