Simple phone calls may prevent second fractures in seniors

NCT ID NCT06455085

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a patient navigator—someone who contacts you after a fracture and connects you to a bone health specialist—can help older adults avoid future fractures. Over 2,600 people aged 50 and older who recently had a fragility fracture will be assigned to either the navigator program or just receive educational materials. The goal is to see if the navigator approach reduces the chance of another broken bone within two years.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to help older adults avoid another broken bone after a first fracture.

What could go wrong

This is a large trial, but it tests a behavioral program, not a drug. The effect may be small, and results may not apply to everyone.
