Evaluates fracture healing in older adults treated with antiosteoporotic medications, suggesting benefits of early intervention.
Fragility fractures represent a sentinel event in the life course of older adults, indicating both osteoporosis and an increased risk of refractures.1 Antiosteoporotic medications are effective for reducing subsequent fracture risk; however, their initiation immediately after fracture remains inconsistent in clinical practice.1 A persistent concern among practitioners is whether early treatment, particularly with antiresorptive agents, might impair fracture healing, leading to delayed union or nonunion.
