Osteoporosis is a debilitating degenerative bone disease that is increasingly prevalent in postmenopausal women. As an orthopedic surgeon, I've encountered countless cases of postmenopausal osteoporosis, a condition that affects millions of women worldwide.

While osteoporosis can affect both men and women, postmenopausal women are particularly susceptible due to hormonal changes that occur during menopause.
