Fracture of the bone is when any factor causes a break in the normal bone structure. This can occur due to trauma, and certain conditions can greatly increase the risk for this, including cancer, osteoporosis, and vitamin D and calcium deficiency. The fracture can result in loss of function of the bone marrow, such as hematopoiesis, or the loss of structural integrity. The fractured part of bone can also form an embolism if it enters a blood vessel.
