Optimization of Follow-up of Patients With Symptomatic Recent Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture

Plain-language summary
The management of osteoporotic fractures has recently changed with the emergence of new programs dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis. For example, the Fracture Network of the Paris Saint-Joseph Hospital Group, created in 2015, identifies and ensures the care of patients who have consulted emergency rooms for osteoporotic fractures. Within this sector, the vertebral fracture (VF) appears to be the most frequent (22.4%) ahead of other fracture sites, confirming the results of other studies that consider VF as a real public health problem.
Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF) have certain specificities compared to other osteoporotic fractures, encouraging particular interest.
