National Center for Injury Prevention and Control and National Osteoporosis
Foundation developed the nice fracture triangles. Fall itself, force and direction of
fall, and fragile bone that takes the impact, are three factors that play roles in
resulting fall related fractures. If one of three factors can be changed, the chance of
breaking bones are reduced. Age and estrogen deficiency during menopause, and various
health and medical conditions, or environmental condition are all related to the
fractures. |
