Screening and referral for bone health after hip or knee surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at a simple plan for surgeons to identify people with low bone strength (osteoporosis) and refer them for bone health care after hip or knee replacement surgery. It may help you get evaluated and treated earlier if you have osteoporosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 50
- Have osteoporosis confirmed by a DEXA scan (a bone density test)
- You should NOT have already been diagnosed with osteoporosis
- You should NOT have already received treatment for osteoporosis

This study uses your routine pre-surgery CT scan to study a broken or replacement hip bone with computer modeling and lab-style analysis. It aims to help doctors better understand bone healing and improve how hip fractures and replacements are handled.
This study looks at people with osteoporotic hip fractures (breaks in the femur near the hip) and evaluates their care and outcomes. It may help improve how hip fractures are treated in people whose bones are weaker due to osteoporosis.
This study aims to help adults over 50 who had a recent bone fracture (from a minor fall) get better follow-up care to prevent future fractures. You will work with a nurse or coordinator to connect with your primary care doctor and learn about bone health options.
This study looks at bone health in people over 50 who have had a low-impact fracture in the last two years but do not have osteoporosis. It will help doctors better understand who might need treatment to prevent future breaks.
This study tests a structured care service to help people manage osteoporosis after a new bone fragility fracture. It aims to improve how you take bone-protecting medicines and to make sure treatment is followed and monitored over time.
