A member asked:
Can you explain if it's possible for your bones to break on their own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If demineralized: It depends on mineralization of bones.. Very osteoporotic bones are subjected to insufficiency fractures. Trivial or unrecognized trauma can cause them to fracture
