摘要：

The clinical management of fragility fracture is simple but complex at the same time. Patients are different from one another, and advancing age increases the prevalence of comorbidities and conditions that can impair bone quality and healing, while increasing the risk of falls and fractures. Keeping in mind some principles and key points can help identify patients at risk, thus following an ideal path for the identification, treatment and prevention of fragility fractures.
