Osteoporosis, the most common bone disease in clinical practice, is a skeletal disorder characterized by a reduction in bone mass with accompanying microarchitectural damage that increases bone fragility and the risk of fracture.1,2 Histologically, the cortices are thinned and porous, and the trabeculae are fewer, thinner, and less connected. Clinically the disease is important because of the fractures that occur as a consequence.
