Strains caused by daily loading might be responsible for delayed healing of an incomplete atypical femoral fracture

Bone. 2016 Jul;88:125-30. doi: 10.1016/j.bone.2016.04.020. Epub 2016 Apr 22.

In conclusion, the poor healing capacity of incomplete atypical femoral fractures can be explained by biomechanical factors, and daily low impact activities are enough to cause strain magnitudes that prohibit bone formation.
