Osteoporotic fracture is fundamentally different from traumatic fracture. It is a pathological fracture based on the skeletal system in the state of osteoporosis, and the essence of its lesion is the decline of bone strength. Bone strength is influenced by a variety of factors, including the material properties and tissue structure of the bone, as well as muscle load. The pathological changes of osteoporotic fracture both of the damage of bone mass and bone quality. After the occurrence of osteoporotic fracture, even successful surgical treatment cannot prevent the further aggravation of osteoporotic bone damage. In this paper, the material properties and tissue structure damage of osteoporotic fractures are elaborated, and it is emphasized to clarify and pay attention to these bone lesions and their risks. Anti-osteoporosis treatment is of great importance to improve the clinical efficacy of osteoporosis and fracture intervention and prevent the occurrence of re-fractures.
