Overview

A bone fracture is a break in the structural continuity of a bone, ranging from a hairline crack to a complete or comminuted disruption, caused when applied mechanical force exceeds the bone's capacity to withstand it. Fractures may result from acute trauma, from repetitive loading producing stress fractures, or from pathological weakening of bone, as in osteoporosis or neoplastic involvement, where low-energy forces suffice. They are classified by pattern, displacement, location, and whether the overlying skin is breached, and they heal through an ordered biological sequence of haematoma formation, inflammation, soft and hard callus formation, and remodelling, a process influenced by blood supply, mechanical stability, age, nutrition, and comorbidity. Management aims to achieve anatomical alignment and stable fixation through immobilisation, reduction, or surgery, while strategies to accelerate repair include biophysical and biomaterial approaches. Fragility and secondary fractures in ageing populations carry substantial morbidity, making prevention and optimised healing important goals. The peer-reviewed research associated with this topic addresses the effect of laser irradiation on reparative osteogenesis, secondary hip fractures in ageing adults, approaches to enhance bone healing and remodelling, bone-graft scaffolds and biomaterials, skeletal anatomy relevant to fracture, and imaging of bone viability, reflecting the field's concern with the mechanics, biology, and clinical management of bone injury and the means of promoting effective fracture repair.
