Analyzed literature data demonstrates the influence of fracture in individuals of different age on the risk of post-traumatic osteopenia and osteoporosis, as well as increase in the risk of the recurrent fractures. It is proved that the fracture leads to a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) not only in the injured limb, but also other parts of the skeleton. In majority of prospective studies and metaanalysis it was shown that there is no full recovery of BMD after sustained fracture. Posttraumatic osteopenia and osteoporosis increase the risk of re-fracture in the future.
