Key result
The introduction of fracture liaison services significantly reduced the occurrence of postoperative complications (OR 0.372) and decreased the time to surgery in patients with fragility hip fractures.
Why the study?
Does the introduction of fracture liaison services improve surgical timing, reduce complications, and improve functional activity in older patients with fragility hip fractures?

The implementation of fracture liaison services for older patients with fragility hip fractures significantly reduces time to surgery, decreases postoperative complications, and improves long-term functional recovery.
Imai et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Fragility hip fractures (n=467). Fracture liaison services (FLS) vs. Standard care without FLS was evaluated on Complications after admission (OR 0.372, p=0.004). The introduction of fracture liaison services significantly reduced the occurrence of postoperative complications (OR 0.372) and decreased the time to surgery in patients with fragility hip fractures.
