Chapter 7, Problem 40P
Summary Introduction

To determine:

The most common bones that get fracture in elderly.

Introduction:

Compact and spongy bones are two types of bone tissues found at the ends of long bones like femur. Compact bone is made up of osteons, and spongy bones are made up of trabeculae. The trabecular bones due its spongy and less compact nature show the changes due to aging first. In elder age groups the common cause of broken bone is the fact that the trabecular bone weakens faster than compact bone. This results in the destabilization of upper part of femur bone.
