Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones lose their strength and thickness (density), leading to a higher risk of fractures than normal. Osteoporosis occurs when bones lose minerals such as calcium more quickly than the body can replace them. As a result, bones become weaker, more fragile and can break more easily, even with a minor bump or fall. Dr. Kanagaratnam Kandeepan (Orthopaedics) explains more.
