Significant generalized osteopenia. Height reduction / anterior wedging of multiple vertebral bodies.
Protrusio acetabuli - more obvious on right side.
A lytic lesion is noted in proximal shaft of left femur. It causes endosteal scalloping of medial cortex. Few other tiny lytic suspicious foci are noted causing endosteal scalloping of lateral femoral shaft cortex.
