There remain significant care gaps in the management of patients at high risk of fragility fracture. Many patients at very high risk remain undiagnosed and therefore untreated. Monoclonal antibody antiresorptive therapy such as denosumab with high specificity and romosozumab with the ability to rapidly stimulate new bone formation are significant advances. Future therapies may direct 'maintenance' therapies to avoid reversal of beneficial effects on monoclonal antibody treatment discontinuation. Other novel therapies being investigated may provide benefits not only to osteoporosis but other diseases associated with aging.
