Osteoporosis Risk-Benefit (ORB) Calculator

Introduction:

This is a calculator for patients and clinicians to calculate how much benefit osteoporosis medicines might result in. We recommend that clinicians and patients use this together. You will need to enter the patient’s fracture risk and which medication you are considering, and then the calculator can demonstrate the fracture risk reduction at different fracture sites.
