A pathologic fracture is a break in a bone that occurs due to an underlying medical condition. This type of fracture varies in severity based on the condition causing it. Synonyms for pathologic fractures include pathological fractures, fragility fractures, and insufficiency fractures. These fractures typically occur in individuals who have weakened bones due to osteoporosis, bone cancers, or other bone diseases. Pathological fractures may also occur due to metabolic bone disorders, infections, and traumatic fractures that do not heal properly. Proper diagnosis and treatment is essential in managing pathologic fractures, and a multidisciplinary approach is often needed to address underlying conditions and prevent further breaks.
