hi,
as you said you are facing with the Buckling of hip joint and also you are osteoporotic I would highly advice you to strenfthen the core, spinal, hip, thigh muscles on both sides.
as you are osteoporotic the chances for pathological fracture is high. & this is not accepted at this age. Kindly meet up a physical therapist take proper exercise sessions for strengthening the muscles. Even you need to improve you calcium levels through medicine and vitamin D levels through sun bath.
I wish you a good and safe health
