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.
A femoral fracture is a fracture of the thigh bone. The femur is the largest and strongest bone in the body, so it requires a large or high impact force to break this bone. Most femur fractures are the result of a high energy trauma, such as a motor accident, gunshot wound, or jump/fall from a height. However, in an older population a simple fall may cause a femoral fracture due to reduced bone mineral density. A femoral fracture is a very serious injury and needs 3-6 months to heal.
