Abstract
Fragility fracture caused by osteoporosis affects the health of the elderly. The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) advocate that the fracture liaison service (FLS) can improve the detection rate, treatment rate and compliance of patients with fragility fractures, and hence to reduce the incidence of secondary fractures. Currently, there are different models of FLS available globally, appropriate management is the key to effective implementation of FLS projects.
