    The document is a student's assignment response explaining a type of spinal fracture suffered by an office worker. It identifies the fracture as a stress fracture caused by prolonged sitting over many decades, which placed repetitive strain on the spine and led to tiny cracks and eventual fracture. A stress fracture occurs when a bone is exposed to too much pressure over time, such as from long periods of sitting, weakening the bone and making it prone to breaking.

    Assignment 02
    Name: Muskan Abbas
    Roll no: m-18506
    Subject: Biomechanics 1
    To: Sir Haroon
    Topic: Bone Fractures
    Question: An office worker suffered from back pain. After examination, it was
    found he has developed fracture of spine. Physician says it was due to prolong
    sitting over a period of decades, even though he did not lift any heavy weight.
    What type of fracture is it and give the biomechanical justification of this
    fracture?

    Explanation:
    The officer suffered from a stress fracture of the spine.
    Stress fractures
    Such fractures occur when the spine is exposed to too much pressure or strain,
    Example
    Such as when a person is sitting for long periods of time.
    Reason
    This can cause tiny cracks in the bones of the spine and eventually lead to a
    fracture.
    The mechanical justification for this type of fracture is that a force is applied to
    the bone for an extended period of time, which causes the bone to become
    weakened and more susceptible to breaking.
