Organization of centers for the prevention of repeated fractures
Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is one of the important problems of modern medicine. OP significantly increases the risk of bone fractures. This implies the need to organize an integrated system of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this disease. The main link in the fight against OP should be a comprehensive and systematic program to prevent and inform people about this problem. In most developed countries, various centers for the prevention of repeated fractures are organized and successfully operate. The article describes the principles of the organization of the work of the centers for the prevention of repeated fractures. The creation of these centers will make it possible to detect OP before complications develop, reduce the risk of fractures and improve the quality of life. Innovative Russian developments are discussed, which can be successfully applied in the work of such centers by specialists in various areas of medical activity.
