This revised edition of the Blue Book is sponsored by the British Orthopaedic
Association and the British Geriatrics Society and seeks to summarise current
best practice in the care and secondary prevention of fragility fractures.
     Together with the web-based National Hip Fracture Database, the Blue Book
offers guidance, standards of care, and feedback on care and outcomes, thus
allowing trauma units to benchmark and improve their management of the most
serious common osteoporotic injury.
