All the following are true about osteoporosis except
Bending of bones and milkman's fracture is very much related to osteomalacia but they are also seen in osteoporosis. Whereas veebral compression fracture is related to osteoporosis but also seen in osteomalaciaOsteoporosis OOsteoporosis is defined as a reduction of bone mass (or density) or the presence of a fragility fracture. OSeveral noninvasive techniques are now available for estimating skeletal mass or density. These include *Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), *Single-energy X ray absorptiometry (SXA), *Quantitative computed tomography (CT), and *Ultrasound. The diagnosis of Osteoporosis is made when a patient has a characteristic osteoporotic fracture. In absence of such a fracture, evaluation of osteoporosis is done by T score measurement based on bone mass T scoreDiseaseT score > - 1Normal T score - 1 and - 2.5 Osteopenia T score < - 2.5 Osteoporosis (Refer: Mercer's Textbook of Ohopedics, 9thedition, pg no: 310-313)
There is bending of long bones
There is hypercalcemia
There is veebral compression fractures
Milkman's fracture
