Five-year refracture rates of a province-wide fracture liaison service

ConclusionsOne in ten patients in our cohort refractured within 5  years after baseline. Presenting with multiple fractures was an indicator of a higher refracture risk, while presenting with an ankle fracture was associated with a lower refracture risk. A more targeted FLS approach may be appropriate for patients at a higher refracture risk.
