Abstract: Patients with osteoporosis-related fractures were found to incur nearly $US10 000 in estimated additional direct healthcare costs in the 6 months post-fracture, compared with patients with no fracture. Reduced fracture risk may lower associated direct healthcare costs. Copyright Springer International Publishing AG 2012
