Fracture Liaison Service Programme
26 July 2024
The first sign of osteoporosis is often a broken bone.
After a fracture, your chances of having another fracture double. Evaluation of fracture risk and treatment is crucial to prevent future broken bones, which can cause long-term disability and pain.
