Osteoporotic fractures are common and account for an important medical impact and high induced health-related costs. The most common fracture sites are the vertebra, wrist, proximal humerus and proximal femur. Osteoporosis must benefit from a medical treatment after a fragility fracture. This management is currently insufficient in France, although diagnostic tools (DEXA scan), effective treatments and guidelines are available and have been widely disseminated. Orthopaedic and trauma surgeons must emphasize to patients with a fracture that they need to consult their general practitioner or rheumatologist to decide how their osteoporosis will be diagnosed and treated.

D015502	Absorptiometry, Photon	A noninvasive method for assessing BODY COMPOSITION. It is based on the differential absorption of X-RAYS (or GAMMA RAYS) by different tissues such as bone, fat and other soft tissues. The source of (X-ray or gamma-ray) photon beam is generated either from radioisotopes such as GADOLINIUM 153, IODINE 125, or Americanium 241 which emit GAMMA RAYS in the appropriate range; or from an X-ray tube which produces X-RAYS in the desired range. It is primarily used for quantitating BONE MINERAL CONTENT, especially for the diagnosis of OSTEOPOROSIS, and also in measuring BONE MINERALIZATION.

This concept includes implications of appropriate versus inappropriate therapy on the overall cost and clinical outcome of a particular disease.
