Objective: To assess whether residents (R1, R2, or R3 - according to the year of residency) of a tertiary orthopedic service investigate, treat and/or refer the patient with osteoporotic fracture for osteoporosis (OP) treatment and whether this learning is improved over the years of residency. Methods: Residents answered diagnostic and therapeutic questions related to a clinical case of osteoporotic fracture (OF) in 4 settings, which were initial care in the emergency room, at discharge, during outpatient follow-up at 3 and 6 months. Responses were compared between years of residency. Results: Twenty R1, 21 R2, and 19 R3 raised the questions. One resident treated osteoporosis in R1, two in R2, and four in R3. Seventy-five percent of R1, 90.5% of R2, and 68% of R3 referred patients for OP treatment. Over the years, there has been improved prescribing lab tests for osteoporosis (p = 0.028), with 52.6% of third-year residents prescribing adequate lab tests. In the same period, 100% of R3 correctly prescribed prophylaxis for deep vein thrombosis (p = 0.001). Conclusion: There is learning, but not enough, for secondary prevention of FO.
