The fracture risk assessment tool, FRAX ®, was released in 2008. It provides country-specific tools for estimating personalized 10-year probability of hip and major osteoporotic fracture (hip, clinical spine, distal forearm, and proximal humerus). Several adjustments have been developed that extend the range of risk factors considered by FRAX, now available through FRAXplus (www.FRAXplus.org). Meanwhile, there is ongoing research that will inform the next iteration of the FRAX tool.
