• If you're an athlete and haven't suffered a
  fracture of any kind before whatsoever, consider
  yourself lucky. Of course, any athlete out there
  knows that suffering a fracture comes with the
  territory of being an athlete. But,
  unfortunately, not many of them know the sort of
  fracture they can suffer. But rather, only that
  they can happen. But what kind of fractures could
  an athlete suffer?

• Well, quite a few, believe it or not. For an
  athlete, though, there are certain fractures they
  are more likely to suffer than others. Like, for
  example, it's not likely an athlete would suffer
  a compression fracture, aka one where the bone
  gets crushed or flattened. That would assuredly
  never happen while playing a sport. However,
  there are certain fractures, four in particular,
  that an athlete is more likely to suffer that
  they should know about, such as

• Complete fracture This is the most simple one
  because it's where the bone breaks in two. It can
  happen to anyone and usually happens from an
  unfortunate collision with someone else or
  because of an awkward angle. While this can
  happen to anyone, it's more likely to happen with
  those who are physically active like athletes are.

6

• Stress Fracture These sort of hairline
  fractures can come from overuse, particularly
  when running long distances and jumping. These
  fractures usually happen to basketball players
  and those who run track and usually occur in the
  leg and the foot.

7

• Comminuted Fracture These fractures happen
  when the bone breaks in several places. This
  usually occurs for those who participate in more
  extreme sports such as cycling and skateboarding.
  So basically, it happens with sports that are
  particularly played in the outdoors.

8

• Compound Fracture Of all the fractures, this
  is one that most athletes know about and want to
  avoid by any means necessary. A compound fracture
  means the bone is not only broken but has also
  pierced the skin. It is among the worst fates an
  athlete can suffer. However, it's not an injury
  that's likely to limit them permanently.

  any of you athletes out there in Saratoga
