Strong Bones Services

From your first phone call or e-mail, a dedicated nurse navigator will guide you through the process of scheduling a bone density (DXA) scan and/or making an appointment with our bone health care team.

If you have experienced a fragility fracture, a broken bone resulting from a mild trauma, such as bumping into furniture or a minor fall, you are at much greater risk of breaking another bone.

ChristianaCare’s Fracture Liaison Service identifies patients with fragility fractures and coordinates follow-up care, screening and any necessary treatment.

Strong Bones Fracture Liaison Service is in place at ChristianaCare for fractures of the hip and upper arm, which are common in people with osteoporosis. In 2016, we expanded our services to include patients with vertebral compression fractures and will continue to expand our services to other orthopaedic populations.
