A member asked:
Could i break or fracture my elbow from doing planks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not typical: This is not typical unless you were doing planks on an unusual surface. If you have weakness to the bone, ie low vitamin D or calcium, making your bone more susceptible to breaks with little trauma, it is possible.
