  • Overview

    Life-altering secondary fractures are a harsh reality, but Medicare studies show, and orthopedic surgeons agree, that knowledge has not translated into prevention. Why is there clinical inertia in providing preventative interventions related to secondary fragility fractures? Join Drs. Andrea Singer and Susan Bukata as they provide a cogent medical approach to preventing these fractures and a roadmap for when and how to use available therapies based on their mechanisms of action.
