I am worried about my 72 year old mom who has osteoporosis and recently fell and broke her hip. Is there anything that I can do to prevent this again in the future?
There are several lifestyle modifications that you can do to prevent future fractures. To prevent falls, simple things around the home, such as removing rugs, can help. A good resource, recommended by one of the more prominent surgery journals, is an Own the Bone Medical Center. They take a multidisciplinary approach to treatment and provide information regarding fall prevention, lifestyle modifications, medication, exercise and nutrition to prevent further bone loss and future fractures.
