Abstract

Insufficiency fractures occur within weakened bones that are unable to withstand the stress of every day normal activities. The spine, pelvis, and lower long-bone extremities are common sites of insufficiency fractures. Spontaneous sternal insufficiency fracture (SIF) has rarely been reported in elderly patients. To recognise a sternal insufficiency fracture is important in selecting the adequate diagnostic procedures.

摘要

骨质疏松性骨折发生在因骨质薄弱而无法承受日常正常活动压力的骨骼中。脊柱、骨盆和下肢长骨末端是骨质疏松性骨折的常见部位。老年患者自发性胸骨骨质疏松性骨折（SIF）鲜有报道。认识到胸骨骨质疏松性骨折对于选择适当的诊断程序很重要。
