Osteoporosis Screening and Fracture Risk Assessment in Postmenopausal Women

Quick fact

The FRAX® tool can estimate a woman's 10-year probability of hip or major osteoporotic fracture using clinical risk factors alone, even before a bone density scan, so a T-score is not always required to begin the assessment.

Why this is interesting

A simple bone density number might seem clear-cut, but two women with the same T-score can have vastly different fracture odds. What tips the scales?
