This is certainly the case with accidents and injuries involving broken bones.
Broken bones cause immobility and pain, and they can be very costly and time intensive to recover from.
Because of this it is important to know what situations commonly result in broken bones so you can take steps to better avoid falling victim to these accidents.
While almost any unexpected accident can result in a broken or fractured bone, there are a number of situations that are more likely to result in this painful injury.
These include the following:
- Rough fall and elevated falls
- Malfunctioning tools
- Sport related injuries
- Injuries on the playground or other high activity areas
- Physical interactions, such as cases of battery or violent altercations
- Vehicular accidents
- Osteoporosis and the weakening of bones
- Accidents where joints are severely twisted or strained
Luckily there are steps you can take to protect your bones and comfort.
There are many steps you can take to avoid falling victim to a bone fracture or break.
These include the following:
- Be sure to get adequate amounts of calcium, be it from leafy greens, milk products, a daily supplement, or some other form.
- Always wear appropriate protective gear when playing sports or being physically active
- When walking or running take care to inspect the path ahead, watching out for uneven spots, drops, or slippery surfaces.
- Take care to wear your seat belt and sit a proper distance away from the steering wheel or dashboard when in a vehicle in case of an accident.
