- Abstract
The article discusses a study which analyzed the impact of establishing a coordinator-based fracture liaison service (FLS) for the secondary prevention of osteoporosis at a university trauma center in Germany in 2016. Topics include the low rate of osteoporosis diagnostics and treatment in Germany compared with the rest of Europe, the risk factor identified for further fractures in osteoporosis, and an improvement in diagnostic assessment rates after implementing various types of FLS.
