Own the Bone Quality Improvement Program

Own the Bone encourages orthopaedic teams to engage in preoperative bone health optimization to identify patients at high risk of poor bone quality and, if indicated, treat them before elective surgeries to reduce the probability of related surgical complications and future fractures. Clinicians working at hospitals and practices with Own the Bone memberships have access to a library of on-demand education by experts in bone health optimization.
