Abstract:
Osteoporotic fractures represent the most severe complications of osteoporosis,characterized by insidious onset,high mortality and disability rates,and a steadily increasing incidence,imposing a significant socioeconomic burden.Western medicine has advantages in diagnosis and surgical interventions,while traditional Chinese medicine excels in holistic manage-ment and the restoration of bodily equilibrium.The integration of both traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and western medicine emerges as an effective therapeutic strategy for osteoporotic fractures.In order to propagate the concept of integrated diagnosis and treatment,foster the advancement of integrated medical techniques for osteoporotic fractures,and establish standardized and nor-mative protocols for disease prevention,diagnosis,and treatment,a consensus expert group,led by Geriatric Branch of Chinese Geriatrics Society,the Young Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedics Branch of Chinese Medical Association,Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedics Branch of Chinese Physician Association,and Osteoporosis Professional Committee of the Shanghai Society of Inte-grated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine,was established.This group engaged in deliberations and formulated the"Ex-pert Consensus on Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Diagnosis and Treatment of Osteoporotic Fractures"elu-cidating the concept of integrated medicine and offering recommendations in the domains of prevention,diagnosis,and treatment,with the aspiration of ameliorating the prognosis of osteoporotic fractures and enhancing the quality of life for these patients.
