Preventing future fractures after a bone break
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older
- You broke your hip, pelvis, spine, upper arm, or wrist in the last 12 months (from a minor fall or without a clear cause)
- You have a regular primary care doctor you can name
- You have not taken any prescription osteoporosis medications in the past year (like Fosamax, Prolia, Reclast, or Forteo)

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 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.
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 follows patients who break a bone from a fall to see how well a fracture liaison service (a team that helps coordinate your care) can prevent future fractures and improve recovery.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program helps people recover strength and prevent future fractures after breaking a bone due to osteoporosis. Participants will work with trainers on safe, gradual movement to rebuild bone health.
This study looks at ways to prevent and treat “brittle bone” refractures after a recent fracture in people with osteoporosis. If you’ve had a new hip, spine, or other bone fracture, the trial may test strategies to lower the chance of another fracture.
