Dear Colleagues,

Osteoporosis is a common and well-known disease associated with fractures. These fractures lead to pain, disabilities, and incapacitation but are also associated with a higher mortality rate. However, despite this simple and clear assessment, osteoporosis remains an underdiagnosed and, therefore, undertreated disease. Although medical conditions leading to low bone mineral density and fracture risk are widely known to the medical community, screening these patients for osteoporosis is not effective enough. Moreover, even after a fragility fracture, therapeutic prescription is often forgotten.
This Special Issue aims to reduce this treatment gap and focuses on recognizing and screening for osteoporosis, especially after fracture and among patients with medical chronic diseases. Articles on osteoporosis screening, secondary osteoporosis, treatment gap or fracture detection are welcomed, as are any articles helping to better recognize osteoporosis or describing new or alternative methods of osteoporosis diagnosis.
