Brief summary

A prospective study to screen for osteoporosis in all patients presenting to Concord Hospital with a minimal trauma fracture, and to initiate appropriate treatment in osteoporotic patients. The aim is to assess, in a randomised study, the efficacy of semi-annual specialist reviews vs. GP follow-up in terms of compliance and osteoporosis complications.

Interventions

(Group A) Biannual followup at a specialist Endocrinology Clinic comprising review of complicance with medication, complications from osteopososis therapy, incidenct clinical fractures, changes in bone mineral density and biochemical markers in bone metabolism. All patients will be assessed during a final review 2 years after their initial pr

(Group A) Biannual followup at a specialist Endocrinology Clinic comprising review of complicance with medication, complications from osteopososis therapy, incidenct clinical fractures, changes in bone mineral density and biochemical markers in bone metabolism. All patients will be assessed during a final review 2 years after their initial presentation, which follows the same pattern for the initial visit.
