Unlabelled: The coordination of Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) with Primary Care (PC) is necessary for the continuity of care of patients with fragility fractures. This study proposes a Best Practice Framework (BPF) and performance indicators for the implementation and follow-up of FLS-PC coordination in clinical practice in Spain.

Purpose: To develop a BPF for the coordination of FLS with PC in Spain and to improve the continuity of care for patients with fragility fractures.
