Well the most common Fracture we see is the fracture off the wrist(colles) and the neck off Femur,these are the easiest bones for the elderly to fracture.But over all i think the easiest bone to fracture is probably either the Metatarsals or the nose.

Depends on the cause of the injury. The long bones of the arms and legs are harder to break. I used to be an ER nurse and my favorite was the "boxers fracture". You get it when you hit your fist into something and the bone in your hand holding the pinky on is broken. Always a good story to hear what people hit and why.

A kneecap will break under 8-10 lbs. of pressure, if your leg is straight and pressure is applied against it. Bones in the hand can be fractured by punching something hard.

The bones in your feet!! They are a collection of small bones known as metacarpels!! Are you wanting to break a bone or something?? You keep asking about bones!!

Your clavicle (or collar bone). It's by far the easiest one to break. A punch to your upper chest could break it easily.

I heard there are so many tiny bones in the foot that they are easy to break. But I have absolutely no medical background to back that up.

I believe that would be the collar bone, it takes like only ten pounds of pressure to break it.

hands, as they have the smallest volume of helping cartlidge and tissue, plus as they are used consistently, the bones can grow to be weaker, relatively while doing activities. as quickly as a finger is broken as quickly as, is takes in basic terms a minor knock to rebreak the fissue.
