Anabolic treatment for osteoporosis and fragility fracture risk: one year in review 2024.

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease characterised by reduced bone mass and deterioration of bone microarchitecture, underlying a higher risk of fragility fractures. Several options are available for its treatment, including both anti-resorptive and anabolic agents. The present review discusses and summarises the most recent literature on anabolic treatment, with a focus on abaloparatide, and on the assessment of fragility fracture risk, with a focus on trabecular bone score. Finally, we provide a discussion on the effects of different antiosteoporotic medications in terms of fragility fracture risk reduction.
