The most common cause in elderly is a fall, but the most significant fractures involve high energy forces such as a motor vehicle accident , cycling accidents, or a fall from significant height.

Because of the forces involved, pelvic fractures frequently involve injury to organs contained within the bony pelvis. In addition, trauma to extra pelvic organs is common.

Minerals often have a highly distinctive fracture, making it a principal feature used in their identification. Fracture differs from Cleavage crystal cleavage in that the latter involves clean splitting along the cleavage planes of the mineral s crystal structure , as opposed to more general breakage. All minerals exhibit fracture, but when very strong cleavage is present, it can be difficult to see.

Unreferenced date December 2009 An intergranular fracture is a fracture that follows the grain s of the material. If the material has multiple crystal structure lattice organizations, when one lattice ends and another begins, the fracture changes direction to follow the new grain. This results in a fairly jagged looking fracture with bumpy edges. Intergranular fractures are cracks that take place along the grain boundary of a material. Straight edges of the grain and shiny surface may be seen. There are several processes that can lead to intergranular fracture. Microvoid nucleation and coalescence at inclusions or second phase particles located along grain boundaries Grain boundary crack and cavity formation associated with elevated temperature stress rupture condition. Decohesion between contiguous grain due to presence of impurity at grain boundaries and in the presence of hydrogen and liquid metals. Stress corrosion cracking associated with chemical dissolution along grain boundaries. Cyclic loading when the material insufficient number of independent slip systems to accommodate plastic deformation between contiguous grain leading to grain boundaries. Think of several wooden jigsaw puzzle pieces with the grains showing, but with each piece having grains running in a different direction.
