Summary

The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) and the American Society for Bone Research and Mineral Metabolism recommend the creation and implementation of fracture coordination services (FLS) as the most efficient way to address the problem. FLS has emerged as a new clinical approach that uses coordinated, multidisciplinary care to improve post-fracture outcomes and reduce recurrent fractures. It is a multidisciplinary and protocolized care model that must guarantee: 1. Identify fragility fractures and people at risk for a fracture 2. Fracture risk assessment 3. Indication for treatment or referral 4. Improvement in therapeutic compliance 5. Reduce the risk of falls It is known that patients who have undergone a FLS model (vs no FLS), have lower mortality, lower risk of fracture, with a reduction of 35% and 56%, respectively, during two years of follow-up. One of the most important objectives of the FLS is the proper recognition and treatment of osteoporosis (OP) in patients with fragility fractures. A major problem is the lack of adherence to treatment for OP, and inclusion in an FLS program increases the prescription of bisphosphonates from 17.9% to 76%. In addition, a specific follow-up program means that 73% of patients followed by FLS continue to undergo anti-resorptive treatment after 2 years of having suffered a femur fracture.

Detailed description

Hypothesis After a femur fracture due to fragility, upon discharge from surgery at the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, including patients in a regional FLS program will make it possible to complete the study of the patient with fracture, improve adherence to treatment of OP (secondary prevention), and obtain better functional recovery.
