Fracture and fall history

這是什麼

A history of low-trauma fracture, repeated falls, height loss, or vertebral compression changes is an outcome signal, not just a background detail.^[1,2]

為什麼重要

Bone strength is judged by whether bone breaks under ordinary loads. A clean-looking number can miss fall risk, vertebral fracture, or inherited fragility context.^[1]

它會影響哪些判斷

• A fracture after a low-energy fall can shift the clinical meaning of BMD and T-score.^[1]
• In children and adolescents, fracture history is part of the osteoporosis definition; densitometry alone is not enough.^[2]

解讀陷阱

• Trauma level, age, location, medication exposure, and underlying disease change interpretation.^[2]
