The author treated since 1982 85 fractures caused by overloading, incl. 19 which were associated with surgical, manipulation and medicamentous treatment. These iatrogenic influences altered statics and had a bearing on the locomotor stereotype causing deterioration of mechanical properties of osseous tissue and as a result of external rhythmic force during manipulation. Analysis of the causes makes it possible to draw preventive conclusions.
