Overview Lack of provider knowledge regarding current risks associate with osteoporosis, including osteoporosis related fractures, and current evidence-based practice guidelines for the management of osteoporosis related fractures, may contribute to the increased occurrence of osteoporosis related fractures and associated morbidity/mortality. This presentation will offer learners an overview of osteoporosis pathology and risks association with developing osteoporosis and osteoporosis related fractures. Assessment tools, risk calculators, and diagnostic tools and their uses and limitations will be discussed. Knowledge of nonpharmacological and pharmacological prevention and management of osteoporosis related fractures is essential to reducing the incidence of osteoporosis and its associated morbidity and mortality. This presentation will offer learners evidence-based guidelines on the use of these methods to reduce osteoporosis related complications, osteoporosis medication complications, and to improve patient outcomes. Current trends regarding osteoporosis and osteoporosis related fractures including COVID-19 effects, diversity among osteoporosis management, provider networking/communication, and the development of osteoporosis clinics and fracture liaison roles will be discussed.
