RESTORE: REducing Future fractureS and Improving ouTcOmes of fRagility fracturE (RESTORE)

April 29, 2026 updated by: Kenneth Saag, MD, MSc, University of Alabama at Birmingham
RESTORE tests whether Augmented-FLS, where patients are contacted by a patient navigator (serving as the liaison) and referred to a bone health provider, is better than Enhanced Usual Care, which includes patient and PCP education and activation. We also aim to determine the influence of age, race, ethnicity, sex, poverty level, geographic region, and timing of entry into the trial after a fracture on the effectiveness of the two strategies.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Enhanced Usual Care Arm
Participants will be mailed education materials and encouraged to follow up with their primary care physician.
Patients will be mailed education materials and encouraged to follow up with their primary care physician.
Experimental: Augmented-Fracture Liaison Service Arm
Participants will be mailed education materials. Participants will also be contacted by patient navigators who will guide participants through the process of getting a Bone Health Clinician appointment.
Patients are contacted by a patient navigator (serving as the liaison) and referred to a bone health clinician.
