🦴 Older adults can suffer fractures even after seemingly minor falls, especially when bones are weakened by osteoporosis. Factors that may increase fracture risk include: 🔹 Osteoporosis or weak bones 🔹 Poor balance 🔹 Muscle weakness 🔹 Vision problems 🔹 Dizziness 🔹 Certain medications 🔹 Unsafe flooring or poor lighting 🔹 Previous falls or fractures Common fracture sites in older adults include the hip, wrist, shoulder and spine. After a fall, do not ignore persistent pain, swelling, inability to stand or difficulty bearing weight. Early orthopedic evaluation and appropriate imaging can help identify fractures quickly and guide treatment. Don’t ignore a fall. Get it checked early.
