Fractures
Bone injuries, known as fractures, are one of the most common reasons most people will visit an orthopedic surgeon. It is estimated that by 2025, in the US alone, 3 million fractures will occur every year. Some of this is driven by our aging population, but many of these occur in healthy young adults. In healthy individuals, fractures are usually related to higher energy trauma such as falls, sports injuries, and vehicle accidents.
