After a fracture, it's time to rethink medications

(Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center) Gerontologists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Hebrew SeniorLife Institute for Aging Research underscore the importance of reviewing patients' prescription medications in the wake of a fracture. Appearing alongside original research by Munson et al that finds few changes are made to patients' prescription medications in the four months following a fracture, the commentary is a call for clinicians to coordinate care among orthopedics, rehabilitation services and primary care to reevaluate patients' medication use.
