Since the World Health Organisation's announcement of the "Bone
and Joint Decade 2000-2010" diseases of the musculoskeletal
system attract more and more attention throughout patients and
professional health care providers. In an aging society especially
osteoporosis represents a major public health concern. Fragility
fractures are the most limiting condition in osteoporosis with the
highest impact on both, life quality and health care systems
worldwide. Orthopaedic surgeons play a key role in implementing
primary diagnostics and therapy in patients with fragility
fractures. Objective of this effort is the reduction of the common
subsequent fractures in patients with osteoporosis. According to
national and international guidelines implementation of contemporary
clinical pathways to diagnose and treat patients with fractures due
to diminished bone mineral density is fast, simple and proven to be
effective.
