Preventing the next fragility fracture: a cross-sectional survey of secondary fragility fracture prevention services worldwide.

Background: There has been an increasing awareness of the public health impact of fragility fractures due to osteoporosis and the imperative of addressing this health burden with well-designed secondary fragility fracture prevention services (SFFPS). The objectives of this survey, conducted within the international membership of the Fragility Fracture Network (FFN), were to identify gaps in services and identify the needs for further training and mentorship to improve the quality of SFFPS provided to patients who sustain fragility fractures.

Methods: We conducted an electronic cross-sectional survey of FFN Secondary Fracture Prevention Special Interest Group (SIG) members from April 2021 to June 2021 using SurveyMonkey.

Three-year outcomes of a fracture liaison service model at a university-based tertiary care hospital in Thailand.

Unlabelled: Fragility hip fracture (FHF) is a serious complication of osteoporosis. A fracture liaison service (FLS) is crucial in preventing FHF. Our retrospective data of 489 patients with FHF and 3-year follow-ups demonstrated that the FLS improved functional outcomes.

Video-based learning versus traditional lecture-based learning for osteoporosis education: a randomized controlled trial.
