What is a fragility fracture?

A fragility fracture is a fracture that occurs when someone falls from standing height or less, often breaking the bone(s) in the hip, spine or wrist. While breaking these bones does not always mean someone has osteoporosis, this can be a sign that someone’s bones may be weakened. If you have suffered a fracture from a standing height, it might be a good time to talk to your doctor about whether you need a bone health evaluation. Or give us a call at 573-882-3851.
