Abstract

An increased fracture risk is a common chronic condition leading to a rising number of fractures, which are injurious to patients and costly to the health care system. Effective diagnostic and treatment options are available for primary and secondary prevention. In this article, we will answer specific practical questions with respect to increased fracture risk and fracture prevention. Topics discussed include definitions, risk factors, the diagnostic modalities and treatment options.
