Stress fractures occur when a fracture in the vertebra causes it to collapse, according to the Cleveland Clinic.It is not known what happened between the father and the little child and why the father injured his child. But doctors confirmed that medical care was sought after a long delay and a long time had passed between the initial infection and the child’s admission to the hospital.
