Abstract:
A survey for orthopedic doctors was performed to evaluate the recognition and the usability of FRAX. As a result, a half of them have known FRAX; however, only a few recognized its advantage. Fracture risks were assessed by FRAX for out patients in the orthopedic osteoporosis clinic and also for subjects in the osteoporosis screening. Appropriate threshold of the major osteoporotic fracture for pharmaceutical intervention seemed to be 15% and be applied from 65 to 74 years of age based on the data.
