You can reduce the risk of your patients suffering an

Osteoporosis is a highly prevalent, treatable disease, but it is currently

serious fracture injury.

In Osteoporosis, Dr Dale Stovall has assembled world-leading experts who
guide you through modern best-practice approaches to:

Diagnosis of osteoporosis
Risk assessment for fractures
Use of calcium and vitamin D
Medical therapy and follow up
Future approaches to treatment

Osteoporosis empowers you to identify and treat your patients with
osteoporosis and low bone mass, preventing subsequent fractures and
improving their quality of life.
