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.
For those aged 55 and above with a recent fracture, our dedicated Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) Programme offers a bone health evaluation and provides the necessary treatment and interventions to prevent further fractures.
