Causes:

The patient has non ossifying fibroma which causes pathologic fracture.
WHY?
From the word itself, ossification means bone formation. Fibroma means
benign tumor that is composed of fibrous or connective tissue, and non,
meaning not. It means that the bone does not form and it has benign
tumor.
Non ossifying fibroma causes bone weakening. Which causes the patient
to fall, trip or slip easily. And that causes bone fracture. On year 2015
the patient had fracture on his right femur. Last year, he suffered from
patellar fracture and it was casted at Philippine orthopedic center. The
patient said that he fell on the second to the last step on the stair. This
year, while he was playing with his cousins he tripped at the garden
hose. That’s why his distal 3rd femur on right side was fractured. Then
they found out that the patient has benign tumor and lytic lesion that
indicates non ossifying fibroma.
