Tue, 02 Sep 2025 15:15:04 +0200 https://news.ki.se/healthcare-fails-to-treat-osteoporosis A common yet seriously undertreated condition, osteoporosis, is a widespread condition where the healthcare system often falls short. Researchers are now investigating why so many patients slip through the cracks and miss out on treatment that could prevent further serious fractures. The long-term goal is to offer treatment even before the first fracture occurs.

According to a new study in Acta Orthopaedica by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in collaboration with the Royal Institute of Technology and Danderyd Hospital in Sweden, self-learning programmes can already find fractures with the same accuracy as orthopaedists.
