Bone fractures are common injuries that can occur due to a variety of reasons such as sports injuries, accidents, falls, and underlying health conditions. Synonyms for the term bone fracture include broken bone, cracked bone, fractured bone, damaged bone, and chipped bone. A bone injury can be classified by its type and location, such as a simple or closed fracture, a compound or open fracture, or a displaced or non-displaced fracture. In some cases, a bone fracture may require surgery, physical therapy, or other treatments to help ensure proper healing and minimize long-term complications such as chronic pain or limited mobility.
