| Risk of second major osteoporotic fracture is greatest immediately after first fracture Posted: 17 Apr 2016 07:11 AM PDT This study shows that show that the risk of further fracture after a first major osteoporotic fracture is greatest immediately following the first event, with a declining, but still increased, risk in subsequent years. These results suggest that pharmacological treatment for secondary fracture prevention should be considered during the period immediately following a first fracture.      |
