    Stress fractures of the foot are sometimes called "march fractures" because of the injury's prevalence among heavily marching soldiers. [2] Stress fractures most frequently occur in weight-bearing bones of the lower extremities, such as the tibia and fibula (bones of the lower leg), metatarsal and navicular bones (bones of the foot).

  3. Human leg - Wikipedia

  4. Femoral fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_fracture

    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 ...

  5. Bone healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_healing

    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 ...

  7. Tibia shaft fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibia_shaft_fracture

  8. Orthopedic cast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthopedic_cast

    Upper extremity casts are frequently utilized to immobilize the arm, wrist, or hand for the treatment of fractures, soft tissue injuries, or during post-surgical recovery. They offer stabilization and support, aiding in proper healing while minimizing the risk of further injury.

  9. Lateral condyle of femur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_condyle_of_femur

    The osteochondral fracture occurs on the weight-bearing portion of the lateral condyle. Typically, the condyle will fracture (and the patella may dislocate) as a result of severe impaction from activities such as downhill skiing and parachuting. [1] Open reduction and internal fixation surgery is typically used to repair an osteochondral fracture.
