Osteoporosis
“Osteoporosis” is a disease of the bones, caused by the loss of there strength (Bone Density or Bone Quality). As a result, bones become weak. It is often considered a “silent disease” because one can’t feel bones weakening. Patients with osteoporosis are at risk of broken bones and only a few of them can resume normal activities after fracture. Broken bones due to osteoporosis are more likely to occur in the hip, spine, and wrist.
