Pharmaceutical considerations for fracture management in adults

A fracture is a break in a bone when force exceeding the bone’s strength is applied. This force could come from a single impact or repeated loading like constant running. The amount of force, the injury mechanism, and bone structure affect fracture risk. Certain medications are linked with a higher fracture risk, necessitating a proactive approach to assessing risk and reducing it. Fractures can herald diseases like osteoporosis, Paget’s disease, and metastatic bone disease, greatly impact life quality, and even cause death. Fracture management focuses on swift healing to prevent deformity and complications, with plans including medication, correction of alignment, and addressing underlying pathology.
