WELCOME TO FRAGILITY FRACTURE NETWORK HKSAR
We are an autonomous arm of the Global Fragility Fracture Network. Fragility Fracture Network Hong Kong SAR (FFN HKSAR) brings together like-minded physicians, nurses and other allied health professionals who are focused in improving the multidisciplinary treatment and secondary prevention of fragility fractures in Hong Kong.
It is not a new society, nor it is seeking to replace any existing organizations or activities. Fragility Fracture Network Hong Kong SAR is a “network” of activists whose goal is to collate and share best practice across all stakeholders so that we can improve the care of patients with fragility fractures in Hong Kong.
A world where anybody who sustains a fragility fracture achieves the optimal recovery of independent function and quality of life, with no further fractures.
