- Abstract
Medical treatment of women with established osteoporosis may decrease the incidence of future fractures. Postmenopausal women who have sustained a distal radial fracture have decreased bone-mineral density and nearly twice the risk of a future hip fracture. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the adequacy of diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women following an acute fracture of the distal part of the radius.
