title: Clinical management and algorithms in osteoporosis.
abstract: The aim of management in osteoporosis is to reduce the risk of fractures. Case-finding strategies are currently recommended to identify subjects at high risk of future fracture who will benefit most from therapy. This article reviews these approaches and discusses the current and future treatment options that are available for patients with osteoporosis.
