Q: My husband has been diagnosed with osteoporosis he is 33 yrs old. He has already 2 compound fracture
Hi Laura, welcome to the community. So sorry your husband is having these problems, that must be really rough. Can you tell me where the compound fracture is (which bone) and if he's had any type of treatment for it like: surgery, splinting/bracing, has it healed or not etc.
Unfortunately I don't have enough information. Also has he been checked for secondary causes of osteoporosis to see why he has this at a young age? Here's a list of disorders/medications that can cause osteoporosis.
Good luck, but if you could post back with more information that would help in answering your question, just click reply below.
