Osteoporosis is a disease that thins and weakens the bones. When this occurs, bones can break easily. Bones in the hip, spine (backbone), and wrist are most often affected. The inside of bone normally looks like a honeycomb. In Osteoporosis, the spaces in this honeycomb grow larger. As more bone is broken down and not replaced, the inside of the bone weakens.
