Rates of Osteoporosis Screening and Treatment Following Vertebral Fracture

Osteoporosis remains an underrecognized and undertreated disease entity in the orthopaedic setting, accounting for substantial long-term morbidity and mortality. Osteoporosis is often not diagnosed or treated until multiple fractures have occurred. Vertebral compression fractures are the most common sentinel fracture, providing an opportunity to intervene with antiresorptive therapy before more debilitating fractures occur. Little data has been published on osteoporosis screening and treatment following vertebral fractures.
