Osteoporosis is a widespread skeletal condition characterized by reduced bone mass and the deterioration of bone structure, leading to increased vulnerability to fractures. It's particularly common among the elderly and often manifests in fractures of the spine, forearm, wrist, and hip. Surprisingly, there are usually no symptoms until a fracture occurs, and weakened bones may break with minimal stress or spontaneously. Following a fracture, individuals may experience persistent pain and reduced capacity for regular activities.
