A member asked:

Elderly with osteoporosis breaks shoulder. will it be down hill from here like when elderly breaks a hip?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: I would have her vitamin d levels checked. Also not sure how the shoulder was injured but make sure balance and gait is good or have physical therapy evaluation for gait training and balance.
