In the November 2021 issue, an error appeared in Williams S, Khan L, Licata AA. DXA and clinical challenges of fracture risk assessment in primary care. Cleve Clin J Med 2021; 88(11):615–622. doi:10.3949/ccjm.88a.20199. On page 621, the second paragraph in the section titled “Pharmaceutical management recommended” should have read as follows: “Further, advising only the use of calcium and vitamin D is inadequate management. Her provider should recommend that she use an antiresorption agent as first-line therapy and consider anabolic drugs if there are problems with the initial drug choice.

Recommended hormone therapy in menopause: concepts, controversies and approach to treatment [published online ahead of print, 2021 Apr 15]. Endocr Rev 2021; bnab011. doi:10.1210/endrev/bnab011.
