Unlikely: It is common to get fractures by tramatic injuries at any age.It is very unlikely to be due to Hyoerparathyroidism. Hyperparathyroidism causes elevated Calcium in your blood and that is due to calcium being drained from the bones and in to the circulating blood causing Osteoporosis If you have family history or other concern get your Calcium level done in your blood by your doctor
