Adherence to the recommended prevention strategies before and after a hip fragility fracture: what makes us go blind?

CONCLUSIONS: Similar to other countries, the percentage of patients receiving OT at the time and especially after a HF is extremely low. Risk estimations with FRAX® and application of current PCER should allow clinicians to introduce appropriate primary and secondary preventive measures. Comorbidities and dependence seem to be important reasons for this undertreatment.
