  • distal radius ( colle’s )
  • femur - neck fracture
  • neck of humerus
25
Q

type 1 osteoporosis ( post menopausal ) is due to

A

Increased activity of osteoclasts due to decreased oestrogen

26

Q

most common cause of 2ndry osteoporosis

A

Corticosteroids

28
Q

effect of corticosteroids on osteoblastic activity

A

Inhibit their activity

29
Q

Effect of hyperparathyroidism on osteoclast activity

A

Increase their activity > secondary osteoporosis

30
Q

Effect of hyperthyroidism on osteoclast activity

A

Increase osteoblastic activity > increased bone turnover
