What about fractures?

Can confirm broken = fractured.Ā  Neither term gives an indication of severity or type.Ā  For most of us it is enough to further classify a fracture by the terms open (compound) or closed.

Okay, good, I was worried I had missed something/needed to brush up on my definitions.

I'm not really sure how to answer the above but I broke my arm as a child and a toe in college.

 
Back in elementary school, I had a friend who broke her bones very easily. If any of us visited the other, I would usually visit her house. I think she went to my house maybe 6-7 times over the course of four years. She broke her foot on three of those occasions.

 
No comparison to your friend Mitsu who sounds like she has some sort of medical condition, however I've broken several bones over the years including both arms, nose (not sure if this counts), ribs, and last year my fibula after dropping a sheet of tin on my ankle.

She definitely had some sort of medical condition but I am unaware as to theĀ intricacies of it since we were like only 9-10 and thus I didn't have much interest in that. And then after fourth grade we lost contact rather quickly.

BUT while she definitely had a condition, she was also a klutz. She broke her foot three times by falling down our stairs each time. I've lived in this house 20+ years and have not fallen down the stairs even once. She also broke several bones in school. Tripping on the school yard, tripping in class, tripping in PE, etc. etc.

Klutziness (not sure if I've spelt that right) is a very interesting phenomenon!Ā  I've been reading up a little on the nature of sensory processing disorders and it seems to be a common feature of (or a concomitant issue) with ADHD and ASD.Ā  Anecdotally I implemented a kind of hodgepodge sensory diet for my eldest boy (who has ADHD and is an extraordinary klutz), and I've seen some transient improvements in both his klutziness and additionally his emotional regulation.

 
Broken elbow, fractured ankle, broken nose twice, broke al the fingers in my hand (not all at once).Ā 
I was a pretty wild kid growing up lolĀ
