ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new approach to help patients who have suffered hip fragility fractures, which are breaks in the hip bone often caused by falls or minor injuries. These fractures are common among older adults and can lead to serious complications and a significant decline in quality of life. The trial combines a specialized program called the Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) with "Internet + nursing" services. This means that patients will receive ongoing support and care even after leaving the hospital, including online consultations with healthcare teams and home health guidance to help prevent future fractures and aid recovery.

To participate in the trial, individuals must be at least 18 years old, have a diagnosed hip fragility fracture, and be scheduled for surgery. They should also be able to understand the information provided and use smart electronic devices. However, those with certain medical conditions or severe injuries may not be eligible. Participants can expect to receive comprehensive care that continues after their hospital stay, which aims to improve their recovery and reduce the risk of future fractures.
