Screening for osteoporosis following non-vertebral fractures in patients aged 50 and older independently of gender or level of trauma energy—a Swiss trauma center approach

Abstract: These preliminary findings appear to confirm the pragmatic approach to screening in a standardized manner for osteoporosis in all non-vertebral fracture patients aged 50 and older-independently of both gender and level of trauma energy.

“…Karlsson and Obrant [45] found, when studying fragility fractures, that 11% were caused by high-energy trauma and 89% by lowenergy trauma. In corroboration with other studies concluding that the cause of trauma preceding the fracture has little or no importance [46,47] we are convinced that the cause of every fracture is not necessary to consider.…”

“…With the ongoing aging of society, osteoporosis (OP) has become a common disease, encountered particularly in postmenopausal women, with an incidence of up to 74% [1]. Patients with OP are vulnerable to OP-related fractures, such as critical size bone defects [2,3]. Although tissue-engineered bone substitutes, including various synthetic materials, have been considered, with promising alternatives to bone graft in bone defect repairing [4,5], the treatment of critical size bone defects, particularly under the condition of OP, still has challenging requirements in clinical practice [6,7].…”
