Abstract Purpose of Review Substantial advances have been made in understanding the
biological basis of fracture healing. Yet, it is unclear whether the presence of osteoporosis or …

Compromised bone strength in osteoporosis predisposes patients to an increased fracture
risk. The management of these fractures is complicated due to the poor bone quality, which …

Osteoporosis causes an increased risk of fracture through decreased bone mineral density,
disruption of bone microarchitecture and reduction in non-collagenous proteins. The effect of …

Osteoporosis is a major health problem characterized by compromised bone strength that
predisposes patients to an increased risk of fracture. Osteoporotic patients differ from normal …

Introduction Osteoporosis is characterised by low bone mass and micro-architectural
deterioration of bone structure. Its treatment is directed at the processes of bone formation or …

Bone differs from other tissues in its capacity to self-repair after a fracture. The low bone
mass and structural deterioration of bone associated with osteoporosis increases the risk of …

Antiosteoporotic medications are often used to concurrently treat a patient's fragility fractures
and underlying osteoporosis. This review evaluates the existing literature from animal and …

Fracture repair has not been fully optimised and there is opportunity to increase the healing
rate and reduce the number of complications using pharmacological means. While most anti …

Fracture healing is influenced by mechanical and biologic factors. The capacity for fracture
repair has been reported to decrease with age, although the risk of fracture increases with …

Demographic changes in the age structure of occidental populations are giving rise to
osteoporosis and associated fractures, which are becoming a major public health burden …
