Osteoporosis in orthopedics
Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease characterized by decreased bone density and strength, leading to an increased risk of fractures, particularly in weight-bearing bones such as the hip, spine, and wrist. In orthopedics, osteoporosis presents significant challenges, as even minor falls or trauma can result in serious injuries in individuals with weakened bones.
