Impact of osteoporosis pharmacotherapy and vitamin d supplementation on fracture morphology and treatment of pelvic fragility fractures: a retrospective cohort study of 1493 patients from the German Pelvic Trauma Registry
Despite established treatment guidelines, two-thirds of patients who sustained an FFP received neither SOM nor VitD in Germany. Patients with prefracture SOM treatment sustained more unstable fractures requiring surgical intervention, possibly reflecting advanced disease severity or altered bone biomechanics. Secondary fracture prevention remains suboptimal, with one-third of patients not receiving treatment postfracture.
