Result: A sample of 60 people was taken; out of this, only 11% were aware of the relationship between osteoporosis and fracture healing, and the other 89% lacked the awareness of the relationship between osteoporosis and fracture healing.

Conclusion: In this study, it was found that there was 11% of people aware of fracture healing and osteoporosis.
