This paper represents the detection and segmentation of X-Ray bone fracture Detection using Edge detection algorithms. Edge detection is applied to find the fracture in a bone in the body (like Skull, Hand, and Leg, wrist, Bar room fracture, Chest, and Spine). Fracture is a medical situation in which there is a separation between two or more pieces of bones. The work of various researchers is discussed about the fractures present in X-Ray images and their detection techniques.
