Coordinated care after a fracture could stop the next one
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- coordinated care program (fracture liaison service)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could become a standard way to prevent second fractures in older adults with osteoporosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center study without a control group, so results may not apply broadly. Success depends on patient follow-up and adherence.
