The disorder is sometimes referred to as metaphyseal osteopathy , and typically first presents between the ages of 2 and 7 months. [ 1 ]
Fracture strength, also known as breaking strength, is the stress at which a specimen fails via fracture. [2] This is usually determined for a given specimen by a tensile test, which charts the stress–strain curve (see image).
In a UK study involving nearly 6000 fractures seen in hospital, 3.6% were broken toes. [10] Fractures of big toes make up about a fifth [3] or third [8] of all toe fractures, and 5.5% of all foot and ankle fractures in major US trauma hospitals. [10] Toe fractures are the most common foot fractures. [8] About 20% of broken toes involve open ...
