TL;DR: The first up-to-date Italian guidelines for the primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of osteoporotic fractures are presented and toolboxes for everyday clinical practice are provided.

TL;DR: This scoping review showed that selected micronutrients in adequate doses might have an ancillary role in musculoskeletal health and cognitive functions in older people.

TL;DR: In the unloaded condition, the functions of the osteocyte network are augmented, whereas exercise could decrease inhibitory effects on bone mass by reducing both osteoclastogenesis and inhibition on osteoblast function.

TL;DR: The results suggest that factors such as frequency of visits, pharmacological schedule, and opportunity to call the doctor might play an important role in the persistence and adherence to treatment to obtain maximum therapeutic effect and avoid further fragility fractures.

TL;DR: Although teriparatide is indicated for the treatment of severe osteoporosis and not to enhance fracture healing, there are many experimental data which indicate that it may be beneficial also in enhancing fracture healing.
