A live 20 minute online presentation, complete with PowerPoint slides:

There is a theoretical risk that bisphosphonates would impair fracture healing. What do the animal studies tell us?
What is the optimal time to start postoperative bisphosphonates?
Many studies have documented undertreatment of osteoporosis after hip fracture. What is a useful approach to getting treatment to patients?
How do interventions to prevent falls figure into one's approach to a patient with a hip fracture?
Case series have reported femoral shaft fractures in bisphosphonate-treated patients with low bone turnover; the overall risk appears to be very low. Were such fractures seen in the Horizon study? Is the risk of such fractures increased in the post-fracture setting? Can we identify a subset of patients at increased risk of complications?
How should we approach vitamin D therapy for fall prevention and fracture protection post hip fracture?
The data on fracture protection by hip protectors are decidedly mixed. How can we get to an answer regarding their role in high-risk patients?

Invited Panelists
