Osteoporotic Fractures Open Access Journals

Osteoporotic fractures are a result of osteoporosis, a condition during which the bones become more fragile thanks to bone deterioration or low bone mass. Bones are more fragile or weaker are at greater risk for fractures. Fractures occur commonly in the spine. Bone loss can occur with none symptoms, until the fracture actually occurs. Osteoporotic fractures can arise with minimal trauma, like a strain, bump or fall.

In individuals with osteoporosis, a fracture are often caused by even a minor fall or during routine activities, like twisting and bending. Typically, significant back pain along the spine is experienced after a fracture happens.

Half of all women and 1 / 4 of all men over the age of fifty will experience an osteoporosis-related fracture at some point in their lifetime. 50 percent of these fractures are spinal fractures. 80 percent of the individuals who have osteoporosis are women and the condition occurs more often in older individuals, but can also occur in men, and also at any age.
