When examining an X-ray of a hip with normal bone density, it looks like honeycomb. In contrast, an X-ray of a hip affected by osteoporosis reveals a predominantly airy composition. Osteoporosis increases the likelihood of fractures in various bones, with the most commonly affected areas being the hips, wrists, and spine.
