Deep dives
Fractures related to osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a common condition that can result in fragility fractures, especially in women over the age of 50. Sedentary lifestyles, poor nutrition, and certain medications contribute to the risk of osteoporosis-related fractures. While these fractures can occur in various bones, vertebral fractures are commonly seen at the junctions of the thoracic and lumbar spine. Hip fractures typically affect patients over 70 years old with a history of osteoporosis, and wrist fractures are more common in younger postmenopausal women. Early screening, diagnosis, and treatment are crucial to prevent fractures and improve patient outcomes.
