The American Orthopaedic Association ’s Own the Bone ® database: a national quality improvement project for the treatment of bone health in fragility fracture patients

ConclusionOTB is the first and largest multi-center voluntary fragility fracture registry in the USA. The data collected through the OTB program is comparable to that collected in international studies. Thus, the OTB registry functions as an externally valid cohort for further studies assessing the clinical characteristics, interventions, and outcomes achieved in patients who present with a fragility fracture in the USA.
