Abstract:
Despite the high incidence of osteoporosis, the high risk of subsequent fractures after an initial fracture and effective treatment options, there is a substantial deficit in the diagnostics and treatment of patients suffering from osteoporosis in Germany and worldwide. The reasons for this are multifactorial and can be attributed to physicians and patients as well as mismanagement inherent to the system. This article provides an overview of the challenges in the treatment of osteoporosis patients and shows the possibilities for improvement of care in the outpatient area. With respect to the exact schedule of the diagnostics and treatment of osteoporosis, reference is made to the pocket-sized edition of the current guidelines of the Governing Body Osteology (DVO).
