Summary

This study tested a program to help women over 50 who had a wrist or arm fracture get proper follow-up care for osteoporosis. The program included oral advice, a leaflet, and phone reminders to see their doctor and get a bone density test. 436 women took part, and the study compared those who got the program to those who received usual care.
