Does osteoporosis effect the healing of a fracture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially: People with osteoporosis will usually heal there fractures at nearly the sane rate as those without; but because the bone quality is poor, they need to be followed closely for signs of fracture displacement.
