Hip fracture due to osteoporosis
Osteoporosis fracture. Coloured X-ray of the hip of an elderly woman with a fracture (centre left, orange) caused by osteoporosis (brittle bone disease). The femur (thigh bone, lower right) articulates with the pelvis at the hip socket (centre). Osteoporosis causes a loss in bone density, making the bones thinner, more brittle and more likely to break. In this case the pubis bone of the pelvis was fractured by a fall. Osteoporosis is most common in women after the menopause as their ovaries no longer produce the oestrogen hormones which help to maintain bone mass.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vividly colored X-ray captures the devastating impact of osteoporosis on an elderly woman's hip. The fracture, indicated by a striking orange hue at the center left, serves as a stark reminder of the debilitating consequences of this brittle bone disease. As we observe this image, it becomes evident that osteoporosis causes a significant loss in bone density, rendering them thinner and more prone to fractures. The lower right corner reveals the femur or thigh bone articulating with the pelvis at the hip socket, emphasizing how crucial this joint is for mobility and stability. Unfortunately, in this particular case, a fall resulted in a fracture of the pubis bone within the pelvis. Osteoporosis predominantly affects women after menopause due to decreased production of estrogen hormones by their ovaries. These hormones play a vital role in maintaining healthy bone mass. With their absence, bones become increasingly fragile and susceptible to breakage. This powerful photograph not only highlights the medical aspects of osteoporosis but also underscores its impact on individuals' lives—particularly elderly women who are most vulnerable to its effects. By shedding light on such conditions through visual representation like this print from Science Photo Library, we can raise awareness about osteoporosis and advocate for better healthcare solutions to prevent fractures caused by weakened bones.
