Brief Summary

Fragility fracture is easily associated with a clinical worsening of patients in terms of quality of life and disability in the medium and long term. Following this traumatic event, more than half of the patients are unable to recover pre-fracture motor skills such as the ability to walk. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on this type of patient has not been described and it is easy to hypothesize that, given their intrinsic frailty condition, they may have been significantly affected by changes in care pathways.

Conditions
