NCT ID NCT02194660
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial tests a fracture liaison service (FLS) — a coordinated care program for people aged 50 and older who have had a hip or spine fracture. The program follows best-practice standards to ensure patients receive bone density tests and appropriate osteoporosis management. Researchers aim to see if this approach improves care and helps prevent future fractures.
