Helen Joseph Hospital

Every patient with an acute fracture presenting to the orthopedic services, is evaluated by the FLS team. The FLS team consists of Geriatrics and Endocrinologists. A comprehensive assessment is done evaluating risk factors for osteoporosis and a fall risk is made. All patients are evaluated and treated acutely with Intravenous bisphosphonate therapy. They are then followed up within 3 months and then further managed chronically at the combined osteoporosis clinic.
