Detailed explanation-1: -The bones that make up your spine (vertebrae) can weaken to the point that they crumple and collapse, which may result in back pain, lost height and a hunched posture. Bone fractures, particularly in the spine or hip, are the most serious complications of osteoporosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Osteoporosis doesn’t affect the healing process of bone. So if you do break a bone, it can heal as normal. Some broken bones need an operation to help them heal, while others get better on their own. A broken bone usually takes around 6 to 12 weeks to heal, although it can take longer.
Detailed explanation-3: -Osteoporosis is a bone disease that develops when bone mineral density and bone mass decreases, or when the structure and strength of bone changes. This can lead to a decrease in bone strength that can increase the risk of fractures (broken bones).
