Fractures are a heavy burden on health budgets in the region and improvement in fracture prevention and management is needed by implementing cost-effective evidence-based solutions.

The audit of 16 countries not only underscores the care gaps and future disease burden but also presents cost-effective evidence-based solutions. It is intended as a tool to catalyse action at the national health policy level and calls on health care professionals and medical authorities to diagnose and treat osteoporosis in a timely manner.

Orthopaedic surgeons should take an active role in optimising care of the fragility fracture patient with the ultimate goal of preventing future fractures

Comprehensive course for orthopaedic surgeons; raising awareness of osteoporosis as the underlying cause of fracture and the clinical pathways for optimal management of fragility fracture patients.

Vertebral fractures usually occur earlier than hip fractures but they rarely come to medical attention.

Comprehensive guide on osteoporosis and the identification and management of vertebral fractures; with tips for patients and healthcare professionals (including physical therapists and radiologists)

There is a need for coordinated, multi-disciplinary models of care to achieve the best outcomes for patients with fragility fractures.

This webpage includes links to: (i) standards of care of people with a hip fracture; (ii) models of care and implementation guides for fracture liaison services in Australian hospitals; and (iii) the Australian and New Zealand Hip Fracture Registry Annual Report.

Hip fracture impose a tremendous burden on the healthcare systems.

The ANZHFR is a clinical registry that collects data on the care provided, and the outcomes of care, to older people in Australia and New Zealand, admitted to hospital with a fracture of the proximal femur.

Hip Fracture Care Clinical Care Standard, Quality Statement 5- Mobilisation and Weight Bearing.

Dr Lara Kimmel, team leader and physiotherapist describes how High Intensity Physiotherapy for Hip Fractures is provided at The Alfred Hospital, Victoria, Australia. Dr Kimmel presents the results of the HIP4Hips randomised control trial and explains how they are able to provide this model of physiotherapy as “business as usual” at The Alfred.

Hip Fracture Care Clinical Care Standard, Quality Statement 4- Timing of Surgery.

Dr Agnes Yuen is a Haematologist from Melbourne Haematology and research fellow at Monash Health, Victoria, Australia. She will be discussing direct oral anticoagulants and emergency hip fracture surgery.
