A Secondary Fracture Prevention System (SFPS) is the most efficient and cost-effective organizational structure for reducing the frequency of fractures. The main purpose of SFPS is to ensure interaction between traumatological, therapeutic, and geriatric services and involve PHC specialists in reducing the frequency of recurrent fractures in all older and senile patients after low-energy fractures.
