    A bone fracture occurs when stress placed on a bone exceeds its ability to withstand the force, resulting in disruption of the continuity of the bone and damage to attached soft tissues like muscles and blood vessels. This leads to bleeding and formation of a hematoma in the medullary canal, with bone tissue near the fracture site dying off and an inflammatory response ensuing.
