Abstract

Fragility fractures are occurring at an ever-increasing rate, creating an enormous economic and societal impact. Outpatient-based fragility fracture programs have been developed to identify at-risk patients, initiate effective treatment of metabolic bone disease, and improve coordination between members of the patient’s care team with the goal of reducing future fractures. Inpatient programs focus on effective, efficient management of patients presenting with acute fractures. Both have proven successful in reducing the impact of fragility fractures, but many challenges exist. The orthopedic surgeon, as part of an integrated team of providers, is integral in identifying at-risk patients, ensuring appropriate care of acute fractures, and initiating treatment protocols to reduce the risk of further injuries.

Evaluation of fracture etiology, fall prevention and therapy, supplementation of Vitamin C and calcium, as well as initiation of bisphosphonates or anabolic agents are all outlined as within the scope of the orthopedic surgeon. The utilization of a dedicated multidisciplinary team in the treatment of the patient with a fragility fracture is also emphasized.CrossRef
