摘要: Osteoporosis is an evocative term for a metabolic disorder characterized by loss of bone mass and organization, which predisposes to fracture. The clinical consequences osteoporosis lie in the problems associated with it, specifically hip, Colles vertebral fractures. We present here extracapsular fracture proximal femur aged female skeleton from Santa Clara-a-Velha Monastery (14th–17th centuries) Coimbra, Portugal. This probably secondary osteoporotic disorder. Bone remodeling at site confirms that this woman survived long period after sustaining femur, suggestive solid community assistance support. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
