Pathological Fractures

Pathological fractures are breaks in bones that occur with minimal or no trauma, often due to underlying health issues. Unlike regular fractures caused by accidents or injuries, these breaks happen because the bone is weakened by conditions such as osteoporosis, tumors, or infections. In such cases, even minor stress, like bending or lifting, can lead to a fracture. Recognizing and treating the underlying cause is essential for recovery and to prevent future fractures.
