Fracture Facts

Your first osteoporotic fracture may not be your last

Three things you need to know about your previous osteoporotic fracture

Your most recent fracture can say a lot about your future. That’s because a prior fracture puts you at increased risk for a future fracture.

But there's something you can do to help reduce that risk—start on a bone-building treatment. At your next appointment, ask your doctor if a bone builder is right for you. Read on to learn about the impact a fracture can have on your bone health.

Your postmenopausal osteoporosis may have played a role in your fracture

Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a chronic disease that causes an excess of bone-removing cells in your body. This makes you lose bone faster than your body can rebuild it, causing your bones to become weak and more likely to fracture. See below for what this may look like in your body.

If osteoporosis is left untreated, it may not take much for another fracture to happen

Osteoporosis makes your bones weak and more likely to break. This means that a minor fall could cause a potentially life-altering fracture in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

You can fracture another bone sooner than you think

After an osteoporotic fracture, your chances of breaking another bone increase significantly. That means that what you're currently doing for your bones may not be enough.
