From the lack of information given, one must assume that ADT would be used for those with a raised PSA which would include metastatic disease as a possible cause, 

ADT will risk osteoporosis. Prostate cancer in bones can result in bone weakness.

Both of these will risk increase risk of fracture.

Hence, I am not surprised about the "risk of fracture in men with prostate cancer on androgen deprivation therapy".
