Fractures, or broken bones, commonly occur in patients of all ages. It is important to differentiate from a low-impact pathological fracture that may have a sinister cause and a “normal” fracture caused by expected force. We overview the general management principles as well as provide details of presentation and deficits associated with common fractures including broken arms and hips.
