A fracture occurs when stress placed on a bone exceeds its ability to absorb the force, resulting in a disruption of the continuity of the bone and damage to attached soft tissues like muscles and blood vessels. This causes bleeding and formation of a hematoma in the bone's medullary canal, followed by death of bone tissue around the fracture site and an inflammatory response.
