Abstract
Bone fractures are commonly due to a high-velocity injury, especially in younger individuals. Fractures resulting from a low-impact mechanism should raise suspicion of an underlining pathological process. This case explores non-ossifying fibroma as an underlining cause of pathological fracture in a young basketball athlete.
