An overview of the use of the fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) in osteoporosis

We present the characteristics of this tool and describe the use of thresholds (diagnostic and therape utic). We also present arguments as to why screening with FRAX should be considered. FRAX has several limitations which are described in this review. This review coincides with the release of a version, FRAXplus, which addresses some of these limitations.
