Osteoporosis is a progressive skeletal disease in which bones become thin, weak, brittle, and prone to fracture. Osteoporosis literally means âporous bones.â Thinning bones are caused by loss of bone density. Calcium and other minerals contribute to the bone mineral density that helps strengthen and protect bones.
If too much new tissue is formed, the bones become abnormally thick and heavy (acromegaly). â¯Excessive loss of calcium weakens the bones, as occurs in osteoporosis. â¯They may also become too âsoftâ, as seen in the bone diseases rickets and osteomalacia.3. Once a bone is fractured, repair proceeds in a predictable pattern: !â¯The first step, which occurs 6-8 hours after injury, is the formation of a fracture hematoma as a result of blood vessels breaking in the periosteum and in osteons.
