Targeted optimum care approach for osteoporotic fragility fractures: tailored strategy based on risk stratification to reduce incidents of falls-an initiative by the Egyptian Academy of bone health based on the FLS national register.

Unlabelled: Since falling is the third cause of chronic disability, a better understanding of the frequency, severity, and risk factors of falls across diagnostic groups is needed to design and implement customized, effective fall prevention, and management programs for these individuals, particularly those at risk of sustaining a fragility fracture.

Objective: (1) To assess the incidence of falls among osteoporotic patients with fragility fractures. (2) To evaluate the potential for stratifying the people at risk of falling in bone health setting aiming to provide targeted optimum care for them.

Screening and management of osteoporosis: a survey of knowledge, attitude, and practice among healthcare professionals in Egypt-a study by the Egyptian Academy of Bone Health.

Unlabelled: Secondary-level healthcare professionals, mainly rheumatologists and orthopedic surgeons, were invited to participate in an online survey questionnaire to assess knowledge and compliance with osteoporosis management guidelines and strategies, as well as self-reported quality of care. About 51% of the participants admit that they do not implement specific guidelines for the management of osteoporosis in their standard practice and depend on their experience and their clinical judgments. Moreover, although a good percentage (58%) had satisfactory knowledge levels in domains on the risk of osteoporotic fractures and investigations of osteoporosis, 47.

Incidence and geographic characteristics of the population with osteoporotic hip fracture in Egypt- by the Egyptian Academy of Bone Health.

Unlabelled: This work studies the epidemiology of hip fracture in Egypt. While the incidence of hip fracture in Egypt matches that of the Mediterranean region, there was geographic variation in osteoporotic hip fracture incidence between the north and south of Egypt.

Purpose: To assess the incidence of hip fracture in Egypt, with special emphasis on the geographic and demographic variation among the Egyptian population.

Post-Fracture Care Program: Pharmacological Treatment of Osteoporosis in Older Adults with Fragility Fractures.

Purpose Of Review: To present and discuss the recently published scientific evidence on the approach, mode of action, and timing of osteoporosis therapy initiation after fragility fractures.

Recent Findings: A comprehensive management approach is required to reduce mortality and morbidity associated with fragility fractures. This will help to reduce the risk of missing the diagnosis of osteoporosis as the underlying disorder while at the same time promoting the timely treatment of osteoporosis.

Correlation between delayed carpal tunnel syndrome and carpal malalignment after distal radial fracture.

Background: Delayed carpal tunnel syndrome after Colles' fracture is a common complication particularly following conservative treatment. The aim of the study was to verify the correlation of different radiological parameters of carpal alignment and the development as well as the severity of DCTS in elderly female patients within 6 months of distal radial fracture (DRF).

Methods: This is a retrospective case-control study that included 60 female patients with DRF within 6 months treated conservatively (30 patients with signs and symptoms suggestive of DCTS and 30 asymptomatic patients as a control group).

Osteoporosis treatment gap in patients at risk of fracture in Egypt: a multi-center, cross-sectional observational study.

Unlabelled: Despite the wide availability of a wide variety of approved osteoporosis medications and DXA scan centers in Egypt, only a minority of patients at high risk of sustaining a fragility fracture receive treatment, even after their first fracture. Such big "treatment gap" leaves the most high-risk individuals unprotected against fragility fractures. This study provides a benchmark to monitor national trends in osteoporosis management and service uptake.
