Osteoporosis is a common disease, occurring especially in postmenopausal women and older men, but often it is only after a fracture occurs that one begins to pay attention to one’s own osteoporosis. In the case of osteoporosis, only minor external forces (such as a bumpy ride or an accidental fall) can lead to fractures. Common combined fractures include thoracic and lumbar vertebral fractures, hip fractures, distal radius fractures, proximal humerus fractures and rib fractures. These fractures are often highly disabling. As the world population continues to age, the proportion of fractures due to osteoporosis is on the rise, thus causing more and more concern. At present, for the management of osteoporotic fractures, except for some vertebral fractures and hip fractures that require surgery, most of these fractures can be treated conservatively and non-operatively. For osteoporosis, appropriate medication can play a preventive, pain-relieving and disease-preventing role, such as estrogen replacement therapy; the application of calcitonin, a new drug salmon calcitonin (MIGA) has been used in clinical practice; oral calcium supplementation and vitamin D supplementation, etc. In addition, kidney tonic Chinese medicine has unique efficacy for the treatment of osteoporotic fractures. Once osteoporotic fractures occur, we should actively go for treatment, but prevention is more important than treatment for such fractures. In our daily life, we should pay attention to correcting bad habits and ways of living, not smoking, not drinking alcohol in excess, eating foods rich in calcium, going outdoors in the sun more often, and doing proper physical exercise to prevent accidental injuries. In conclusion, it is possible to avoid such fractures as long as we take note of this knowledge and follow the requirements.
