Fracture Liaison Services (FLS)

Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) are coordinated programs within healthcare that identify and assess patients aged 50 and older who've experienced a fracture, often caused by weak bones (osteoporosis). The goal is to determine the risk of future fractures and provide personalized treatment strategies, such as medication, lifestyle changes, and education, to prevent repeated injuries. FLS ensure patients receive comprehensive care, bridging the gap between the fracture event and long-term bone health management, ultimately reducing the chances of future fractures and improving overall quality of life.
