Biological secondary contributors to osteoporosis in fractured patients, is an early systematic assay relevant?

Conclusion:This study performed in patient with recent low trauma non-vertebral fractures showed that 94.6% of patients had at least one contributor to bone fragility, which was the vitamin D insufficiency in most of cases. We found a high proportion of biological abnormalities which require additional explorations but most of them can be explained by the postoperative context.
