TL;DR: It is argued that this disease is not optimally managed locally and is often still regarded as an inevitable part of the ageing process, not amenable to treatment, and regionally differences in the availability of bone-active drugs in the public sector are particularly problematic.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed FRAX models to compute the 10-year probability of hip fracture and major osteoporotic fracture and assess their potential clinical application, which can enhance accuracy of determining fracture probability amongst the South African population and help guide decisions about treatment.
