Bone fractures are the\u00a0most\u00a0common orthopaedic injuries,\u00a0occurring when a bone cracks or breaks due to sudden impact, trauma, or weak bone structure<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/orthoinfo.aaos.org\/en\/diseases--conditions\/fractures-broken-bones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1<\/a><\/sup>.

The major causes of bone fractures are\u00a0falls, sports injuries, road accidents, osteoporosis, and repetitive stress on the bone. Maintaining bone strength through a proper diet and understanding other preventive measures might reduce the risk of bone fractures and promote long-term skeletal health<sup><a
