Avulsion fractures are common when bone tissue is weaker than the tendon or ligament attaching onto it.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


True

Dislocations or subluxations will occasionally result in an avulsion fracture, in which an attached tendon or ligament pulls a small piece of bone away from the rest of the bone. So, avulsion fractures are common when bone tissue is weaker than the tendon or ligament attaching onto it.
