Abstract

Osteoporosis may be defined as a diminished quantity and quality of bone that increases the risk for fracture. The fractures given most attention involve the vertebrae, femur and radius, although other fractures are also related to osteoporosis. Fractures of the distal forearm (Colles’) and vertebrae, which contain large amounts of trabecular bone, increase after menopause. The increase in fracture incidence reaches a plateau at 65 years for the wrist, but the incidence continues to rise with increasing age for the vertebrae. The incidence of fractures with a more proportionate mix of compact and trabecular bone increases slowly, and then exponentially in the elderly, resulting in increased fractures in the femur, proximal humerus, proximal tibia and pelvis (Figure 1).
