These findings support expansion of fracture liaison services to improve long-term patient outcomes in resource-limited settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Background<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fragility fractures (FF) driven by osteoporosis result in high morbidity and mortality and are a global health concern. Fracture liaison services (FLSs) are the\u00a0gold standard for secondary prevention, yet data on their implementation and patient profiles in South Africa remain sparse.

Hip fractures predominated (59.9%), specifically neck of femur (38.8%) and intertrochanteric fractures (21.1%). Although 82.5% of patients received calcium and vitamin D supplementation, only 27.8% received in-hospital bisphosphonate therapy (Zoledronic acid). Medication shortages accounted for 60% of cases in which Zoledronic acid was not administered, while 12.4% were ineligible due to advanced chronic kidney disease. In-hospital mortality was 5%, and median length of stay was 18 days (IQR 11\u201328). Vitamin D insufficiency was prevalent (41.1%) and did not differ by ethnicity. Significant gender differences were observed: men had substantially higher rates of smoking (73% vs 46%) and alcohol use (48% vs 23%). Inadequate physical activity was a risk factor in both genders. Fall risks included a history of previous falls (42.0%) and cognitive impairment (Mini-Cog &lt;3; 39.6%). Patients with hip fractures had significantly higher FRAX scores than those with fractures at other sites (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is the first South African Fracture Liaison Service study to report on fall risk, osteoporosis risk, and post-fracture management. Fragility fractures at Helen Joseph Hospital represent a substantial burden, with a high prevalence of clinical risk factors and notable gender-specific contributors, particularly alcohol use in men. While the FLS helps close the treatment gap, its impact is limited by inconsistent access to osteoporosis therapies. Improving outcomes in resource-constrained settings requires reliable medication supply and targeted interventions for fall prevention and modifiable risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11657-026-01774-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,28]],"date-time":"2026-09-28T13:08:14Z","timestamp":1790600894000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["An audit of the fracture liaison service at Helen Joseph Tertiary Hospital, Johannesburg, South Africa"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"C.","family":"Van der Meer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Daya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Z.","family":"Bayat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.
