A member asked:
Are people with osteoporosis more likely suffer from a hip dislocation than a shoulder dislocation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: Osteoporosis is not associated with dislocations but is associated with fractures. Hip fractures are more common sue to falls in the elderly with osteoporosis especially those who do not exercise and have poor balance and coordination and are not strong.
