Post fracture nutritional care
Nutrition plays an important role in bone health, both for preventing a fracture, or healing of bone after a fracture. Appropriate administration of nutrients such as Calcium, Vitamin D, or macronutrients such as proteins, are crucial to reducing fracture risk.
In this course, leading expert Professor René Rizzoli provides a comprehensive overview of nutritional care in regard to osteoporosis and fragility fracture. He explains how the inadequate intake of nutrients adversely affects bone healing and raises the risk of a secondary fracture, and how a well-planned nutritional intervention after having the first fracture is essential .
Key Learning Objectives of this course include:
- Identification of fractured patients at risk of malnutrition
- Evaluation of malnutrition severity in various types of fractures
- Review of the various nutritional interventions (dietary, supplements, specific amino acids)
- Review of the outcomes of dietary/supplements intervention in fracture patients (rehabilitation, length of stay, mortality, fracture healing, refracture rates, etc.)
- Overview of how FLS improves nutritional management of patients and reduces secondary fractures
... and much more.
All proceeds from the IOF Academy directly contribute to IOF’s global projects and programmes dedicated to better bone health and patient care.
