often in flat bones

found in skull

77
Q

contrecoup fracture

A

an athlete may be hit on one side of the head with such force that the brain and internal structures compress against the opposite side of the skull, causing a fracture

78
Q

stress fracture

overload caused by muscle contraction, amenorrhea, altered stress distribution in the bone accompanying muscle fatigue, a change in the ground reaction force

79
