Copyright (c) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Osteoporosis in the elderly population is common. It results in more than 1.5 million fractures per year in the United States. The goal of managing osteoporosis is to prevent fractures. In men, osteoporosis is underrecognized and undertreated. More men than women die every year as a consequence of hip fractures. Bisphosphonates are the first-line treatment of men and women. In the past several years, advances in bone biology have resulted in major therapeutic advances. A review of diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis is described.
