We found that the introduction of a dedicated hip fracture outpatient clinic identified and managed a broad range of issues. It is unclear if these needs would have been met by previously existing services. Further work is required to clarify whether managing these issues translates into improved patient outcomes and whether a dedicated clinic is a cost-effective practice of achieving this.
