ABSTRACT Sequelae after an osteoporosis-related fracture include significant morbidity and mortality. Preventing repeat fractures is an important aspect of mitigating these sequelae. As highlighted in the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research multistakeholder coalition's Secondary Fracture Prevention: Consensus Clinical Recommendations, nurse practitioners play an important role in secondary fracture prevention.
