Osteoporosis is a major health problem that is common in the world. Osteoporosis-related spine breaks are a major cause of mortality and morbidity. The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency of neck fractures in patients with osteoporosis followed in our clinic. From January 2009 to December 2010, the diagnosis of osteoporosis with the followed patients was scaned retrospectively. The sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender), diagnoses (postmenopathic osteoporosis, premenopathic osteoporosis, male osteoporosis, secondary osteoporosis) of patients who suffered a necklace in the period until December 2018 were obtained from the file information they suffered other breaks than necklace and by telephone query. Deaths associated with osteoporosis cramps were assessed. There were 286 patients diagnosed with osteoporosis. 147 patients were involved in the study. 8.84 percent of patients (n=13) were diagnosed with neck breaks. In osteoporosis, the mortality rate due to neck fractures was 2,04 % (n=3). In ten of thirteen patients, with the exception of neck fractures, there were fractures in different areas (vertebra, arm, front arm). The frequency of neck fractures in followed osteoporosis patients and the ratio of related deaths have been determined. It is believed that our results will contribute to the existing database and increase awareness.

Osteoporosis is a common health problem in the world. Hip fractures due to osteoporosis are an important cause of mortality and morbidity.  The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of hip fracture in patients with osteoporosis. The files of patients with osteoporosis who admitted to our clinic between January 2009 and December 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. Between January 2009- December 2018, the patients who had hip fracture were determined by patient file and by telephone. Their sociodemographic features (age, sex), diagnoses (postmenopausal osteoporosis, premenopausal osteoporosis, male osteoporosis, secondary osteoporosis) and other fractures except hip were recorded. Osteoporotic hip fracture-related deaths were evaluated. 286 patients with osteoporosis were evaluated. 147 patients were included in the study. Hip fracture was detected in 8,84 % (n = 13) of the patients. The mortality rate related to hip fracture in patients with osteoporosis was 2.04% (n = 3). In 10 out of 13 patients who had hip fracture, fracture was observed in different areas except hip fracture (vertebra, arm, forearm). The frequency of hip fracture and related mortality in osteoporosis patients followed by our clinic were determined.It is thought that our results will contribute to existing database and increase the awareness.
