Global epidemiology, burden, and causes of lower extremity and pelvic fractures in the past 32 years

Strengthening fall prevention, implementing comprehensive osteoporosis management including sex-inclusive approaches, and targeted prevention strategies is essential to mitigating the global burden of LEPFs.
