Which fracture type involves a break in the bone that is at an angle to the long axis of the bone?

Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weakened and porous bones, leading to an increased risk of fractures, especially in the hip, spine, and wrist.

a. Arthritis: Arthritis is a condition that involves joint inflammation and may cause joint pain and stiffness but does not directly weaken bones.
b. Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects the cartilage and joints, but it does not specifically increase the risk of fractures.
c. Osteomyelitis: Osteomyelitis is a bone infection that can lead to bone destruction and inflammation but does not directly weaken bones to the same extent as osteoporosis.

Cancer is a risk factor for pathological fractures because cancer cells can weaken bones and cause fractures, even with minimal trauma.

a. Hypertension: Hypertension is a condition characterized by high blood pressure and is not directly associated with an increased risk of fractures.
b. Diabetes mellitus: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that affects blood sugar levels and does not directly increase the risk of fractures.
d. Asthma: Asthma is a respiratory condition that affects the airways and lungs and is not linked to an increased risk of fractures.
