A basketball fracture is a fracture or break in one of the bones of the body that occurs while playing basketball. The most common bones that are fractured in basketball are the fingers, hands, wrists, ankles, and feet.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
Basketball is a fast-paced, physically demanding sport that involves a lot of jumping, running, and sudden stops and changes of direction. As a result, players are at risk of injury, including fractures, if they don’t take proper precautions and use appropriate safety equipment.<\/p>
