Abstract
A 73-year-old asymptomatic white woman with a history of a Colles fracture of the left radius 10 years earlier presents for evaluation. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry reveals a bone mineral density (BMD) T score of −2.8 in the lumbar spine and −2.5 in the total hip. How should this case be managed?
