Abstract

Fragility fractures represent a major clinical manifestation of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, with bone mineral density (BMD) assessment serving as the diagnostic cornerstone. This study aimed to evaluate BMD patterns in postmenopausal women presenting with fragility fractures and identify correlations between bone density measurements and clinical characteristics.
