Do bones heal slower with osteopenia? A look at fracture repair and bone health

While having osteopenia—a condition of low bone mineral density—increases your risk of fracture, it does not inherently mean bones heal slower with osteopenia. Instead, the healing process is influenced by a number of factors, including the severity and type of fracture, as well as the individual's overall health. Understanding these variables is key to managing recovery and promoting better bone health.
