While it is not possible to actually "break" ones bum, it is quite possible to fracture one of the bones that provide the structural basis of the bum.
Often a person will fall backwards and land on their behind. This can result in a fracture of the tail bone - also known as the coccygis or os. coccygis in latin.
While this is very painful for the patient, there is not much to be done about the fracture. X-rays will be taken to confirm the diagnosis, and to be sure that the fracture is not complicated. Painkillers along with a order to rest and wait will be prescribed.

Is is also possible to fracture a part of the lower back - os. sacrum. This is fairly more serious condition because of the nerves that pass through this part of the back.
