Most people presenting with incident osteoporotic fractures are neither assessed nor treated
for osteoporosis to reduce their risk of further fractures, despite the availability of effective …

Purpose Osteoporotic fracture is the main complication of osteoporosis. The current
management is to discharge patients as early as possible so they can get back to their daily …

Abstract Summary The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) Capture the Fracture
Campaign aims to support implementation of Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) throughout the …

Objectives To provide a national estimate of the incidence of hospitalizations due to
osteoporotic fractures (OFs) in women; compare this with the incidence of myocardial …

We assessed the ability of a fracture liaison service (FLS) to directly reduce re-fracture risk.
Having a FLS is associated with a∼ 40% reduction in the 3-year risk of major bone and∼ …

Fragility fractures are sentinels of osteoporosis, and as such all patients with low-trauma
fractures should be considered for further investigation for osteoporosis and, if confirmed …

Background: Favorable reports on the use of massive allografts to reconstruct intercalary
defects underline their place in limb-salvage surgery. However, little is known about optimal …

Objectives: to evaluate orthogeriatric and nurse-led fracture liaison service (FLS) models of
post-hip fracture care in terms of impact on mortality (30 days and 1 year) and second hip …

Objective To directly compare the performance and externally validate the three most
studied prediction tools for osteoporotic fractures—QFracture, FRAX, and Garvan—using …

Background: Although frailty has been linked to higher risk of falls and fracture in the general
population, only few studies have examined the extent to which frailty is associated with …
