ABSTRACT
@#Assessment of risk of a fragility fracture is a vital step a physician needs to undertake in every patient suspected of osteoporosis, as this will influence the decisions on whether to treat with a pharmacological agent, with which drug, and for how long. After risk stratification, patients deemed Very High-Risk should be considered for an anabolic agent, or if this is not feasible, a parenteral anti-resorptive. High- Risk or Moderate-Risk patients may be considered for oral bisphosphonates.
