Objective: Osteoporosis is an important health problem with regard to morbidity, mortality, and negative effects on quality of life as well as health-related costs. Distal radius fracture is one of the most frequent fractures and it has been shown to be associated with an increased risk of further fractures. Awareness and treatment of osteoporosis is important to prevent further fractures in patients with osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the awareness of osteoporosis and related factors in distal radius fracture patients.
