Dear Gucci
You get different grades of osteoporosis - the femur is a weight carrying bone and you can't put screws or anything in as the bone is too soft. Can't they give her something to build up the bone again? Maybe you should get a second opinion from someone specializing in osteoporosis. Where do you live?
