- Abstract
Osteoporosis is the most common systemic skeletal disease worldwide. Its consequences have a substantial impact on the quality of life of patients and increases the overall morbidity and mortality. Standardized diagnostic procedures and treatment recommendations have been available for years as German and international (S3) guidelines. Nevertheless, there is a considerable gap in the diagnosis and adequate treatment of osteoporosis, especially in Germany. The aim is to detect the disease at an early stage and to establish a specific and consistent treatment of osteoporosis. In this way the quality of life and independence of those affected can be maintained over a long period. In the acute and permanent treatment of manifest osteoporosis, surgeons, orthopedic and trauma surgeons play a key role.
