Fracture

Fracture means that there is a crack or break in a bone in your body. Just like how a toy car or a pencil can break into smaller pieces, bones in our body can break too.

Sometimes, a fracture can happen when you fall down or get hurt while playing. Other times, it can happen due to a medical condition that weakens your bones like osteoporosis.

When you have a fracture, you may feel pain and have difficulty moving that body part. A doctor will take an X-ray to see where the bone is broken and how bad the fracture is. Then they will decide what kind of treatment you need.

For minor fractures, you might just need to wear a cast, which is like a hard bandage to keep the bone in place as it heals. For more serious fractures, you may need surgery to put the bone back together again.

It's important to take good care of a fracture and follow the doctor's instructions. This means resting, not putting too much weight on the injured area, and taking any medicine prescribed by your doctor. With enough time and care, your bone will heal and you'll be back to your normal self again!
