Pay attention to the early intervention of osteoporotic fractures

Osteoporotic fracture is a special type of pathological fracture characterized by high morbidity, high disability, high mortality and low diagnosis and treatment rate. Currently, the main problem with clinical intervention for osteoporotic fractures is the lack of proper understanding by doctors (especially orthopedic surgeons) of the pathologic changes in the disease itself. Aggressive surgical treatment is very important, but it cannot fundamentally solve the serious consequences of delayed healing of osteoporotic fractures and the occurrence of re-fractures. Early treatment by anabolic agents can effectively shorten the fracture healing time, prevent postoperative implants displacement, and reduce the occurrence of re-fractures. This article emphasizes the importance of actively facing the imminent risk of osteoporotic fracture; correctly recognizing the pathological changes of osteoporotic fracture; and comprehensively paying attention to the early intervention of osteoporotic fracture.
