"Evidence-based" or "logic-based" medicine?

R D Blank et al. Osteoporos Int. 2010 Oct.

Abstract

Low trauma fractures are the cardinal manifestation of osteoporosis. Their occurrence supersedes bone mineral density in deciding whether specific therapy is warranted. We therefore disagree with the notion that a densitometric threshold for treatment should be applied to patients over age 50 who suffer low trauma distal radius fracture.
