Description
Given the burden of osteoporotic fractures, it still remains an undertreated and underdiagnosed problem worldwide. The field is desperately in need of effective programs to deal with the prevention of secondary fractures. Secondary Fracture Prevention – An International Perspective provides practitioners and academic clinicians with a better understanding of secondary fracture prevention and models of care from a variety of settings and countries. This must-have guide provides practitioners and academic clinicians with essential information about this broad clinical and research topic that extends across the globe.
Preventing secondary fractures starts with assessing what works and what does not work, reviewing major society guidelines, and what workup and management is necessary. Secondary Fracture Prevention – An International Perspective reviews these topics and provides a rationale for pursuing a workup and preventing fractures in this patient population.
