Preventing another fracture after first hip or spine break
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study aims to prevent another fracture in older adults who have just had their first hip or spine fracture from a minor fall. Participants will receive guidance to help strengthen bones and reduce future fracture risk.

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 trial tests AGN1 LOEP (a medicine/device placed at the hip surgery site) to help prevent another hip fracture after you’ve had a low-energy hip fracture. You must be eligible for hip repair surgery and be at higher risk for another fracture, with no key exclusions like active cancer or serious kidney disease.
This study tests whether taking a daily collagen supplement helps older adults recover better after a fragility fracture (a break from a minor fall). It may improve bone strength and healing during rehabilitation.
This trial tests a structured “fracture liaison service” program to help people after a new hip or spine (vertebral) fracture avoid additional fractures. It aims to improve long-term follow-up care over the next 10 years.
This study tests a system to help prevent another broken bone after a hip, leg, or pelvis fracture. It is for people 65+ who are in a skilled nursing facility for rehab and plan to return home or to assisted living.
This study tests a program to help older adults who are frail recover after hip fracture surgery. The program focuses on exercises and support to improve strength and mobility during recovery.
