Session Description
Goal-directed treatment allows healthcare providers to recommend the best treatments for individual patients to prevent fractures. The goal-directed strategy considers fracture risk, fracture site and recency and bone mineral density. In contrast to the standard approach, same first treatment for all, treatment selection is tailored to an individual’s risk. This session will provide an update on fracture risk assessment, an overview of the relative efficacy of our current therapeutic armamentarium, and a new algorithm for selecting initial therapy based on the patient’s fracture risk and bone density.
