We organized a session with three experts to deal with issues encountered in clinical practice according to the increase in the number of osteoporosis patients and expansion of the choice of treatments. Prof. Sang Min Kim, the first speaker, will talk about the osteoporosis treatment strategy in patients with fractures that occurred during osteoporosis treatment based on research and clinical experience on fragility fractures. The second speaker, Prof. Alexander J. Rodriguez, who has lots of research experience on osteoporosis treatments and cardiovascular safety, will share findings of years of research. Lastly, Prof. Jeonghoon Ha will talk about the comparison of the efficacy of anti-osteoporosis treatments in Asians and non-Asians. While the introduction of Romosozumab raises interest in anabolic agents, there are concerns about cardiovascular complications. This session can be an opportunity to learn and understand the efficacy and safety of osteoporosis treatments, including romosozumab.
