Fracture Liaison Services in India: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

Osteoporosis, often referred to as the "silent thief of bones," is defined by the National Institutes of Health as the "skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength predisposing a person to an increased risk for fracture."1 Fragility fractures, which result from minor or unnoticed trauma, are more than just physical injuries; they have far-reaching consequences that not only lead to severe pain and reduced mobility but also affect aspects like quality of life, healthcare costs, and overall societal well-being. Literature shows that in postmenopausal women after hip fractures, the expected survival decreases from 12 to 20%.2.
