Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become very porous (have many small spaces). Porous bones are more likely to fracture. This disease can affect both women and men. This pamphlet describes instructions for patients who are referred to the Osteoporosis Post-Fracture Clinic, including details of what to expect before your first visit.
