Core Tip	Post-stroke bone fracture negatively impacts stroke recovery, prolongs hospital stays, and increases economic cost. Stroke, osteoporosis and bone fracture share common risk factors. The main risk factors for post-stroke bone fracture include aging, osteoporosis, and loss of posture control. Bone mineral density measurement may identify patients who are at risk of post-stroke bone fracture. Drugs and supplements, such as vitamin D and teriparatide, can be tested in clinical settings for prevention of post-stroke bone fracture. Although bisphosphonate’s incur side effects, they are considered first-line drugs to prevent post-stroke bone fracture.
