Although bone tissue contains no pain receptors, a bone fracture is painful for several reasons: [3] Breaking in the continuity of the periosteum, with or without similar discontinuity in endosteum, as both contain multiple pain receptors. Edema and hematoma of nearby soft tissues caused by ruptured bone marrow evokes pressure pain.
Frequency. 15% (50 year olds), 70% (over 80 year olds) [7] Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass, micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue leading to more porous bone, and consequent increase in fracture risk. It is the most common reason for a broken bone among the elderly. [3]

The main symptom of osteogenesis imperfecta is fragile, low mineral density bones; all types of OI have some bone involvement. [5] In moderate and especially severe OI, the long bones may be bowed, sometimes extremely so. [28]
Relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S) [1][2] is a syndrome in which disordered eating (or low energy availability), [3] amenorrhoea / oligomenorrhoea (in women), and decreased bone mineral density (osteoporosis and osteopenia) are present. [4] It is caused by eating too little food to support the amount of energy being expended by an ...
Bone healing, or fracture healing, is a proliferative physiological process in which the body facilitates the repair of a bone fracture. Generally, bone fracture treatment consists of a doctor reducing (pushing) displaced bones back into place via relocation with or without anaesthetic, stabilizing their position to aid union, and then waiting ...
A femoral fracture is a bone fracture that involves the femur. They are typically sustained in high-impact trauma, such as car crashes, due to the large amount of force needed to break the bone. Fractures of the diaphysis, or middle of the femur, are managed differently from those at the head, neck, and trochanter; those are conventionally ...
