Clinical and biological parameters associated with fracture recurrence according to fracture liaison service dataset
Authors' conclusion
Our study showed that recurrent fracture occurs rapidly after the index fracture and that rheumatological and therapeutic managements are not sufficient, mainly because of cognitive disorders or patients' refusal impairing the patients to benefit from specialized management.
