Abstract
The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) Task Force recently published clinical recommendations for secondary fracture prevention in older adults who experience hip and vertebral fractures.1 The motivation behind this remarkable international effort, which featured members from multiple professional societies including rheumatology, was the universal recognition that osteoporotic fractures remain significantly undertreated2 despite multiple “calls to action” to improve the dismal patient outcomes.Keywords
