Results: Majority (76.4%: [97/127]) had low BMD (based on T-Score) (osteoporosis: 39.4%; osteopenia: 37%, including those undergoing TKR/THR (total: 75.6%; osteoporosis: 38.5%; osteopenia: 37.2%) and spinal procedures (total: 93.10% [27/29]; osteoporosis: 65.5%; osteopenia: 27.6%). Radial BMD measurements showed higher prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia. Based on FRAX score, nearly 30% patients were at a high risk of hip fracture in the next 10 years. As per NOF guidelines, most (59.79%; 58/97) patients with osteoporosis/osteopenia met criteria for pharmacological treatment.
