breaks

A break is a fracture or crack in a bone caused by trauma, stress, or underlying health conditions. It occurs when the bone's integrity is compromised, leading to pain, swelling, and sometimes deformity. Bones can break in various ways, such as a clean break or multiple fragments. Rest, immobilization, and medical treatment are typically required to allow the bone to heal properly. The severity and type of break determine the specific treatment needed, which may include casting, surgery, or other interventions. Proper care is essential to restore bone strength and avoid complications.
