Osteoporosis Fractures
Is a person w/ osteoporosis more likely to fracture their tibia or radius?
Of these two ONLY, which are they more likely to fracture? If you can, tell my why. (but you don’t need to)
Osteoporosis weakens all the bones in the body. I have never seen statistics on which of these is fractured the most in people with osteoporosis. The tibia in general is the most fractured bone in the body. So I would have to assume that these figures would not change when a person has this disease.
