What are the complications of Osteoporosis?
Complications of osteoporosis can include:
- Bone fractures: The most serious complication of osteoporosis is a broken bone in the spine or hip. Fractures in the hip are often caused by a fall and can lead to disability and an increased risk of death. Fractures in the spine can occur even without a fall.
- Osteoarthritis: Misshapen bones can put more stress on nearby joints, which can lead to osteoarthritis.
- Heart failure: A complication of osteoporotic fractures.
- Bone cancer: A complication of bone loss.
- Pulmonary embolism: Patients with osteoporosis have an increased risk of pulmonary embolism.
- Oral health issues: Osteoporosis can decrease the density of the jawbone, making it more difficult to support teeth. This can lead to periodontal disease, a leading cause of tooth loss.
- Other medical complications: Other complications of osteoporotic fractures include cardiac diseases, venous thromboembolism, pneumonia, urinary tract complications, and gastrointestinal tract bleeding.
