DR. WONG EXPLAINS

Skeletal disorders affect skeletal system in our bodies. One type of skeletal disorder is fracture. To fracture means to break. Our bones can break when we fall or have an accident. When we break our bones it may affect our body movement. In addition, bones protect our organs. Therefore breaking a bone may be dangerous for the organs they protect. For example, our skull protects brain. Therefore, injuries to the skull may be dangerous because the brain can also be damaged. In addition to fracture there other types of skeletal disorders. The include disorders that affect our posture,joints or strength of the bones.
