… The fracture morphology reflects: (1) the forces and resultant stress generated by the
specific mechanism and (2) the ability of the bone (with its surrounding soft tissues) to resist
these forces. This article will use a biomechanical approach to address: long bone fractures
in infants and young children, how bone structure and material properties affect bone
strength and likelihood of fracture, and how a specific fracture morphology reflects a specific
load that has caused the failure or fracture pattern. Biomechanical terms and concepts …
