New Study
FLS SAVES LIVES AND PREVENTS REFRACTURES KOREAN STUDY SHOWS
A new Korean study highlights the life-saving impact of Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) in the management of hip fracture patients. Conducted at the FLS of the Daejeon Eulji Medical Center, the first FLS established in Korea, the prospective cohort study compared outcomes before and after the implementation of a coordinator- based FLS.
The implementation of a coordinator-based FLS has allowed us to deliver more timely and holistic care for elderly hip fracture patients—improving survival, reducing refractures, and ensuring continuity beyond the acute hospital stay.
