Conditions: Osteoporosis, Arthroplasty Complications, Fragility Fracture
Sex: All
Ages: 50 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 2000

Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to observe the impact of a surgeon-driven bone health referral pathway following lower extremity arthroplasty. The main question this study aims to answer is:
1\) What is impact of a surgeon-driven bone health referral pathway on implant-related complications and fragility fractures when compared to standard of care primary care provider referral.
Researchers will compare the endocrinology referral pathway and standard of care to see if there is a difference in treatment rates, fragility fractures, and implant-related complications following lower extremity arthroplasty.
