What this trial studies

This study aims to enhance the cooperation between primary and secondary healthcare providers in treating osteoporosis following a hip fracture in patients aged 75 and older. Participants will receive an infusion of zoledronic acid, along with vitamin D and calcium supplements, to prevent further fractures. General practitioners will be involved in the follow-up care, administering annual infusions of zoledronic acid for three years after the initial treatment. The goal is to ensure that patients continue receiving necessary treatments after hospital discharge.
