The more force you apply to a bone, the easier it is to break it. In some studies, it was found out that bones can handle about 3,300 Newton of force if thrown into a rib and up to 4,000 Newton if released onto the femur.
Fractures of the Femur. The femur is the bone in your thigh. It extends from your hip joint down to your knee joint. It is one of the largest and strongest bones in your body, and because of this, it usually takes a very high energy force or injury to cause the femur to break (fracture). If your bone is weak, for example in osteoporosis, your femur can fracture with a relatively minor fall. Fractures of the femur are categorised by the exact location of the break (fracture): 1  Proximal femoral fractures. 2  Proximal femur fractures, also called hip fractures, involve the upper-most portion of the thigh bone, just adjacent to the hip joint.
