Osteoporotic hip fractures are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in older age. Patients with this fracture are at high risk of further fracture, it can be reduced by appropriate metabolic therapy. However, only 30% of patients after a hip fracture receive basic treatment appropriate calcium and vitamin D, only 10-15% receive complementary metabolic therapy more drugs prevent bone resorption, or bone-building drugs as recommended in the literature, the prevention of further fractures. studies conducted in the past have proven, multi-disciplinary team of dedicated financial institution may increase appropriate treatment and improve the quality of care in these patients. Previous data in our institution has shown that 84% of patients with hip fractures received calcium and vitamin D during hospitalization, but only 47% of the patients came to the metabolic clinic. Moreover, of the patients who came to the metabolic clinic, only 46% were put on complementary metabolic therapy, mostly due to a lack of sufficient vitamin D level. In the present study investigators attempt to treat patients without physical attendance at the metabolic clinic.

The intervention includes matching an appropriate drug to patients with hip fractures. All the relevant parameters regarding the patients with osteoporotic hip fractures will be reviewed (age, kidney function, previous treatment) and an appropriate anti osteoporosis medication will be determined. A recommendation regarding treatment will be sent to the local regulatory authorities, which will send the approved recommendation the the family physician.

The process involves reviewing patients characteristics virtually and finding the right drug for them while they are still in the hospital. After matching an appropriate drug, getting it through regulatory authorities to the family physician
