The Physical Consequences of Fractures

Male: Osteoporosis may not seem like a big deal, but it can have a multitude of consequences. Male: People who have the weak, thin bones characteristic of osteoporosis often suffer at least one serious break or bone fracture. Because most people with osteoporosis are over the age of 50, healing from a broken bone is more difficult. Two thirds of those who suffer fractures never regain full mobility. Fractures can occur anywhere, but the hips, wrist and spine are most often affected. Wrist fractures which usually occur when a person tries to absorb the force of a fall are the most common breaks. Colles fracture occurs when the force of the impact snaps the end of the radius bone, which runs from the elbow to the thumb. After a wrist fracture, a cast or spleen is applied and the bone is allowed to heal. Usually, broken wrist provide no further complications. [Music Playing]
