Background:

Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a growing concern for gynecologists.
Fractures affect 15-25% of women in later years.
Preventive therapy is crucial for this demographic.

Purpose of the Study:

To review available methods for predicting fracture risk in postmenopausal women.
To outline a rational approach to managing osteoporosis in the current clinical setting.

Main Methods:

Review of clinical assessment methods.
Review of laboratory diagnostic tests.
Review of radiologic imaging techniques.

Main Results:

Current methods for predicting fracture risk are difficult and imprecise.
