What Is an Avulsion Fracture? An avulsion fracture happens when a ligament or tendon pulls away a small piece of a bone. This usually results from an accident or traumatic injury. Avulsion fractures ...

The bicep is a muscle on the front of the upper arm. Tendons attach the bicep to the bones in the arm and help it function. A bicep tear refers to tendon damage, which can cause pain and affect ...

Some species of frogs and many other animals are able to jump far beyond what appear to be their capabilities. The trained contestants in the frog-jumping competition in Calaveras County, Calif., come ...
