What is an osteoporotic fracture all about?

  Osteoporotic fractures are classified as fragility fractures and are the most serious consequence of osteoporosis. Minor trauma or even daily activities can lead to osteoporotic fractures due to decreased bone strength. The most frequent sites of osteoporotic fractures are the spine, hip, and wrist. Since the risk of re-fracture is significantly higher after an osteoporotic fracture. Therefore, osteoporosis should be treated aggressively along with the treatment of fractures.
