Like every year, World Osteoporosis Day is celebrated on October 20th as a reminder to take extra care of your bones so that they do not turn brittle. Osteoporosis is a condition when the bone turns fragile and is thus susceptible to fracture. Osteoporosis is also genetic at times and thus, any person with a history of fractures in the family could be affected by Osteoporosis. Hip fractures heal slowly - Since the bone does not heal completely and quickly, the hip fracture heals very slowly. Treatment:Medication, workouts and putting a stop to smoking and alcohol goes a long way in treating Osteoporosis.
