Osteoporosis is a common disease in the world, especially in the Middle East and Africa, and according to a survey conducted in Jordan in 2008, it is estimated that there are 1008 fractures in the pelvic area occurring during the year and estimated by 2050 That the incidence rate may increase to four times. [1] WHO has defined osteoporosis as a disease that causes a decrease in bone mass and its fine tissue, leading to bone weakness and fragility, thereby increasing the chance of fractures.  Balanced processes of demolition and construction on a continuous basis, and the occurrence of vinegar In this sense, a person's vulnerability is fragile; in other words, the decline in construction or the control of demolitions and their increase above the normal rate make the bones fragile and more vulnerable to breakage.

Symptoms of osteoporosis
The bones are usually the first signs and symptoms of osteoporosis. The bones of the wrist, forearm, spine and pelvis are most prone to fractures. The patient suffers from a decrease in height due to the curvature of the back due to the injury of the bones of the spine and the vulnerability, on the other hand, the exposure of the bones of the pelvis to the fragility may make the exercise of daily activities is difficult and may cause the death of the patient in the long term. Diagnosis of osteoporosis
Diagnosis of osteoporosis is performed through a bone density test (DXA) for the pelvic and lower back regions. Bone density is examined in the lower leg and in some cases. It is necessary to know the family and medical history of the patient and to ask about the factors that increase the risk of being vulnerable. Such as the treatment of corticosteroids and diabetes, and the doctor also examines the physical injury to observe a change in length or curvature in the back, and this may ask the doctor to perform laboratory tests such as blood count, and concentration of vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus in the blood and the proportion and testing of thyroid hormone,
