Current use of SSRI/SNRI is associated with an increased risk of all caused fractures. Additionally, the co-morbidity, especially osteoporosis and a history of falling, plays an important role in the risk of fractures.
The FTHCSs may be a substitute for PTCSs, but it cannot prevent femoral neck shortening and varus collapse after fracture fixation. Future studies should focus on how to preserve femoral neck length and hip function after femoral neck fractures.
We found the treatment of osteoporosis to be alarmingly suboptimal, considering the significantly increased economic burden of major osteoporotic fracture also identified in this study. Osteoporosis men received lesser anti-osteoporosis drugs but had higher incremental costs attributable to major osteoporotic fractures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
