An audit of the fracture liaison service at Helen Joseph Tertiary Hospital, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Key takeaways

This study checked how well a hospital program helps people with broken bones. It found that many patients had risk factors for weak bones. The study shows a link between the program and better bone health tracking. It does not prove the program prevents future breaks, but it shows the need for better follow-up care.
