Labels Fractures

age, sex, occupation, sports participation, and overall health as well as a
recent fall or other accident.

pattern of the fracture. In the case of stress fractures, the doctor
will look for swelling or redness in the affected body part, and press
gently on the tissues around the bone for signs of increased pain or
tenderness.
