- Title
The Evolution of Fracture Risk Estimation.
- Authors
Binkley, Neil; Lewiecki, E. Michael
- Abstract
The article discusses the tools in identifying high risk patients for fracture including FRAX, a World Health Organization (WHO) fracture risk assessment tool and T-score. It cites a study by Sornay-Rendu and colleagues that compares FRAX-predicted fracture probability with radiographically confirmed fragility fracture incidence of French women over 40 years old. It cites the history of falling as an important clinical consideration that was not incorporated into FRAX. It suggests the wise use of these clinical tools in the care of individual patients.
