Key points
- A hip or vertebral fragility fracture diagnoses osteoporosis and triggers treatment independent of the BMD value. (original synthesis · not guideline verbatim)
- All patients receive calcium, vitamin D, weight-bearing exercise, fall prevention, and a secondary-cause workup.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| Hip or vertebral fragility-fracture history | Present |
|---|---|
| Fragility fracture at other sites | Present |
| BMD T-score (lowest site) | -2.7 |
| FRAX 10-year major osteoporotic fracture probability (optional) | 22 % |
| FRAX 10-year hip fracture probability (optional) | 3.5 % |
