<prompt> All the following are true about osteoporosis exceptThere is bending of long bonesThere is hypercalcemiaThere is veebral compression fracturesMilkmans fracture  <response>: Bending of bones and milkmans fracture is very much related to osteomalacia but they are also seen in osteoporosis. Whereas veebral compression fracture is related to osteoporosis but also seen in osteomalaciaOsteoporosis OOsteoporosis is defined as a reduction of bone mass or density or the presence of a fragility fracture. OSeveral noninvasive techniques are now available for estimating skeletal mass or density. These include Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry DXA, Single-energy X ray absorptiometry SXA, Quantitative computed tomography CT, and Ultrasound. The diagnosis of Osteoporosis is made when a patient has a characteristic osteoporotic fracture. In absence of such a fracture, evaluation of osteoporosis is done by T score measurement based on bone mass T scoreDiseaseT score - 1Normal T score - 1 and - 2.5 Osteopenia T score - 2.5 Osteoporosis Refer: Mercers Textbook of Ohopedics, 9thedition, pg no: 310-313
