Hello,
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.

A weak bone is may be due to inadequate calcification or due to old age. There are many pathological conditions which causes weak bone. You have not mentioned your age. Also it is not clear whether you have weakness of other bones also.

If it is due to calcium deficiency then taking vitamin D supplements, calcium supplements will help. You need to consult your doctor to treat the fracture. He will also help you with medications to increase strength of your bone.

Hope this helps.

If you have any other queries I'll be happy to help.

Regards,
Dr.Prathap Kumar
