Non-Displaced Fracture. Fractures are medical conditions that result when the continuity of bones is broken. Many fractures occur due to high force stress or impact. But fractures can also occur when medical conditions weaken the bones. These conditions include osteoporosis and some types of cancer. Fractures may occur after powerful force has been applied to bones. The force is so great that your bones may bend to the extent that they snap or break. Among the most common fracture types are displaced and non-displaced fractures.
