DXA does not consider clinical fracture risk factors or bone quality. We hypothesized that patients with normal BMD who sustain a fracture have other characteristics suggesting abnormal bone and an elevated fracture risk requiring additional bone health evaluation and potential anti-osteoporotic treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 7,219 patients who were \u226550 years of age, had sustained a fracture from July 2016 to July 2021, and had DXA data in the American Orthopaedic Association\u2019s Own the Bone (AOA OTB) registry were included in this study. The index and prior fracture site data were obtained. BMD status was classified by the World Health Organization T-score criteria. The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) scores with and without BMD were calculated in patients with normal BMD. An elevated risk was defined as a major osteoporotic fracture risk of \u226520% or a hip fracture risk of \u22653%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean patient age (and standard deviation) was 70.8 \u00b1 9.71 years, 84% of patients were female, and 92% of patients were Caucasian. Normal BMD was present in 8.6% of patients. The index fracture was a major osteoporotic fracture in 68.6% of patients with normal BMD and 75.6% of patients with osteoporosis. The most common site for index and prior fractures other than major osteoporotic fractures was the foot and ankle; of patients with normal BMD, 13.9% had this as the most common index site and 17.4% had this as the most common prior site. The FRAX risk calculated without BMD was elevated in 72.9% of patients with normal BMD, and the FRAX risk calculated with BMD was elevated in 12.0% of patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most patients with a fracture and normal BMD met indications, including a prior fracture or elevated FRAX risk, for anti-osteoporotic therapies. Most patients were Caucasian and therefore potentially had a higher baseline fracture risk. The FRAX risk calculated without BMD was elevated more often than the FRAX risk with BMD, implying that clinical risk factors, which highlight multiple opportunities for non-pharmacologic secondary fracture prevention, should be considered along with DXA. Fractures other than major osteoporotic fractures were more common in patients with normal BMD, suggesting that minor fractures in adults who are \u226550 years of age should be considered sentinel events warranting further evaluation. Surgeons must recognize that other important risk factors apart from BMD may help to guide further bone health evaluation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of Evidence:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Prognostic\n                      <jats:underline>Level III<\/jats:underline>\n                      .
