ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Causes of spiral fractures include: Skiing or snowboarding injuries, when the leg is twisted by being stuck in a ski or snowboarding boot while the rest of the leg continues to move.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stress Fracture: this is a fracture brought about by repeated actions which increase pressure on the bones; these are most common in athletes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Spiral fractures are a type of broken bone. They happen when one of your bones is broken with a twisting motion. They create a fracture line that wraps around your bone and looks like a corkscrew.

Detailed explanation-4: -Spiral fractures are caused by twisting injuries sustained during sports, during a physical attack, or in an accident. This is a partial fracture that occurs mostly in children. The bone bends and breaks but does not separate into two separate pieces.

Detailed explanation-5: -Spiral fractures often occur when the body is in motion while one extremity is planted. For example, a spiral fracture of the tibia (the shinbone) can occur in young children when they fall short on an extended leg while jumping. This occurrence is known as “toddler’s fracture".
