Osteoporosis IOF

Capture the Fracture® is a global initiative developed by the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) aimed at breaking the cycle of fragility fractures through effective Post-Fracture Care (PFC) programs. The initiative focuses on the implementation of Fracture Liaison Services (FLS), which are essential for secondary fracture prevention. With the alarming statistic that a fragility fracture occurs every three seconds worldwide, Capture the Fracture® serves as a vital platform for healthcare systems to adopt and share best practices in post-fracture care.

The program not only provides guidelines and resources to help implement these systems but also fosters international collaboration among health professionals. Recognizing the importance of addressing the care gap, Capture the Fracture® emphasizes a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach to safeguard patients who have already experienced a fracture. Through mentorship, implementation toolkits, and an interactive resource center, the initiative strives to enhance patient care, reduce healthcare costs, and prevent future fractures. Join this global movement dedicated to improving the lives of individuals affected by osteoporosis and fragility fractures.
