Introduction
Osteoporosisisdefined asa bonedisease characterizedby
impairment of bone resistance, which predisposes toward
increasedriskoffractures.1,2
Fractures due to bone fragility are the greatest clinical
expressionofthisdisease.
FracturesduetofragilityaredefinedbytheWorldHealth
Organizationas“fracturescausedbytraumathatwould be
insufficienttofracturenormalboneandwhichresultsfrom
reducedresistancetocompressionortorsion”.3
From a clinical point of view, these fractures can be
defined asresulting from minimal trauma, such asfalling
fromastandingpositionorlessthanthis,orbyunidentified
trauma.Fracturesduetofragilitytypicallyincludevertebral,
proximalfemoral(hip), distalradialand proximal humeral
fractures.4
Fracturesduetofragilityare thestrongestindicatorora
riskoffuturefractures.Patientswhohavehadafractureat
anysitepresentapproximatelytwicetheriskofhavinga

Secondaryfracturesoccurrapidlyafterthefirstfracture.

Patientswhohavesufferedahipfractureformagroupat

prioritizedforassessmentandforstartingtreatments,soas
toavoidothersecondaryfractures.8–10
Contrarytowhatmightbeimagined, thesepatientscan
benefitgreatlyfromtreatment.11,12
Initiativesforavoidingsecondary (subsequent) fractures
shouldbeofferedtoallmenandwomenovertheageof50
years who have had fractures due to fragility, since these
fracturesmayprecedehipfracturesinacycleinwhichone
fractureleadstoanother,ina“cascade”offractures.13–15
Aninitialfractureduetofragilityissufficientfor
request-inganevaluationthatincludesmeasurementofbonemineral

start-ingthetreatmentifthereisnoformalcontraindication.16,17
Studieswiththehighestlevelofevidencehaveshownthat
osteoporosiscanbetreated,thusdiminishingthelikelihood
offracturesinthefuture.17
Around50%ofallcasesofhopfractureareconcentrated
in16%ofthepostmenopausalfemalepopulation,with
histo-riesoffractures.Therefore,secondarypreventionpresentsan
opportunityforinterventioninaroundhalfofallhipfracture
patients.18,19
The
impact
of
fractures
due
to
fragility
In Brazil, the number of people affected by fractures due
fragilityreaches10millionandtheexpenditureontreating
and caringforthesecaseswithintheNational Health
Sys-tem (SUS)ishigh.In2010alone, aroundR$81 millionwas
spentwithinSUSonattendingtopatientswithosteoporosis
andwhohadsufferedfallsandfractures.20
Ithasbeenestimatedthatthenumberofhipfracturesper
yearinBrazil,whichwasaround121,700in2010,willreach
160,000by2050.21,22
ArecentstudyconductedbytheMayoClinicshowedthat
between2000and2011,therewere4.9millionhospital
admis-sionsduetoosteoporoticfractures,2.9millionduetoacute
myocardialinfarction(AMI),threemillionduetostrokeand
700,000duetobreastcancer.Osteoporoticfracturesaccounted
formorethan40%ofthehospitaladmissionsamongthese
fourtypesofadmission,andforthelengthofhospitalstay.
Thehospitalcostwasgreaterforosteoporoticfractures(US$
5.1billion)thanforAMI(US$4.3billion),stroke(US$3billion)
orbreastcancer(US$0.5billion).23
Drug
treatments
Drugsfortreatingosteoporosiscanbedividedintotwogroups:
(1) inhibitors of bone reabsorption, which work through
blockingtheactionofosteoclasts.Theseconsistof
bisphos-phonates, selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs),
calcitonin, estrogen and denosumab and (2) activators of
boneformation,whichworkasanabolicagents,thus
increas-ingbonemetabolism,withpredominanceofboneformation
throughstimulationofosteoblasts.Thesecomprise
parathy-roid hormone (PTH),teriparatide(which issimilar toPTH),
growth hormone (GH) and active metabolitesofvitamin D
(alphacalcidolandcalcitriol).
Strontiumranelatepresents adoublemodeofaction,in
thatitbothinhibitsreabsorptionandstimulatesbone
forma-tion.
Bisphosphonatesreduceoccurrencesofvertebraland
non-vertebral fractures by 40–50%. They are indicated both for
womenandformen,andincasesofsecondaryosteoporosis
inducedthroughcorticoids.24,25
Theyareavailableinoralandinjectableformsinvarious
frequenciesofdosage:daily,weekly,monthly,three-monthly
andannualuse.

Calcitonin isavailable in as a nasal spray or in
subcu-taneous form for daily use. It gives rise to a reductionin
occurrences of vertebral fractures in 36% of the patients,
butwithoutanyreductioninhipfracturesoranysignificant

Gaps
in

Despite substantial evidencethat previous occurrenceof a
fracture resultsin increasedrisk ofa subsequent fracture,
fewerthan30% ofpostmenopausalwomenandfewerthan
10%ofmenwithpreviousfracturesaretreated.41,42
Independentoftheavailabilityofmedicationsthatreduce
the risk of repeated fractures by 25–70%, the majority of
patients with incidental osteoporotic fractures are neither
investigatednortreated.43,44

Secondary

Treatments that are started early on, aftera primary
frac-ture,maydiminishrecurrentfractureratesbybetween30and
60%.47,48

Several studies have shown that persistence with and
adherence to osteoporosistreatment ispoor, and that this
resultsinless-than-idealeffectiveness(underrealtreatment
conditions).Non-adherentpatientshavebeenfoundtohave

If a secondarycause isdetected,the patient isreferred

Results
from

Overaperiodofthreeyearsandtenmonths,450patientswere
followedupand12casesoffracturesoccurred.Noneofthese
werehip fractures.Inother words,therate ofreductionof
