which type of bone fracture is associated with osteoporosis
Osteoporosis Fractures are the most dangerous aspect of osteoporosis. Debilitating acute and chronic pain in the elderly is often attributed to fractures from osteoporosis and can lead to further disability and early mortality.[16] These fractures may also be asymptomatic. The most common osteoporotic fractures are of the wrist, spine, shoulder and hip. The symptoms of a vertebral collapse ("compression fracture") are sudden back pain, often with radicular pain (shooting pain due to nerve root compression) and rarely with spinal cord compression or cauda equina syndrome. Multiple vertebral fractures lead to a stooped posture, loss of height, and chronic pain with resultant reduction in mobility.[17]
Coronoid process of the mandible Its lateral surface is smooth, and affords insertion to the Temporalis and Masseter.
Cerebellar tentorium It covers the top of the cerebellum, and supports the occipital lobes of the brain.
Cerebrum With the assistance of the cerebellum, the cerebrum controls all voluntary actions in the body.
Tendon Tendons are similar to ligaments; both are made of collagen. Ligaments join one bone to another bone, while tendons connect muscle to bone.
