The objective of this study is to determine if an intervention with a fracture manager to arrange bone densitometry after a hip fracture is more effective in diagnosing and treating osteoporosis when compared to "usual care". "Usual care" consists of no intervention to arrange bone mineral density (BMD) testing or therapy other than what normally occurs in the community. The investigators postulate that a fracture manager will be more effective in getting BMD done and in starting appropriate therapy.
All hip fracture patients in the Edmonton area will be screened for eligibility (mini-mental status >20, not on active osteoporosis pharmacologic therapy). All patients will have informed consent obtained. Patients will be randomized to 2 groups:
All patients will be followed for 1 year. The primary endpoints are the number of patients who get a BMD and the number who are started on active osteoporosis therapy.
