Endocrine Society Part of Coalition That Developed New Osteoporosis, Fracture Treatment Guidelines

The Endocrine Society recently participated in a coalition of bone health experts, physicians, specialists, and patient advocacy groups to develop clinical care recommendations for the treatment of osteoporosis and resulting hip and spine fractures.

The Secondary Fracture Prevention: Consensus Recommendations from a Multistakeholder Coalition was published online in the peer-reviewed Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.

These recommendations outline the best course of clinical care for women and men, ages 65 years or older, with a hip or vertebral fracture, and emphasize that fracture patients should be managed in a multi-disciplinary clinical system to ensure appropriate evaluation and treatment for osteoporosis and risk of future fractures.
