This month was marked by multiple FLS joining from two countries: Argentina and Turkey. 

COT- Centro De Ortopedia Y Traumatologia Rosario and Sanatorio Santa Fe represent two new FLS from the private sector in Argentina, and Clínica Universitaria Privada Reina Fabiola is a University Hospital clinic affiliated with the Universidad Católica de Córdoba. The Map of Best Practice now displays 12 FLS from Argentina.

Of the four new additions to the Map of Best Practice from Turkey, three of them are from the public sector: Istanbul Medeniyet University Göztepe Prof. Dr Suleyman Yalcin Sehir Hastanesi, Marmara University Pendik Training and Research Hospital, and Haydarpaşa Numune Eğitim Araştırma Hastanesi. Pamukkale University Medical Faculty Hospital is a university hospital affiliated with the Pamukkale Üniversitesi. These new additions doubled the number of FLS in Turkey on the Map from 4 to 8.

We congratulate all FLS joining the Capture the Fracture® Map of Best Practice for continuing to improve post-fracture patient care and reduce spiraling fracture-related healthcare costs worldwide.
