Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1993
Recent studies have identified multiple factors contributing to osteoporosis and hip fracture in women. It is now possible to identify individuals who are at increased risk of osteoporotic fractures through bone densitometry, so that appropriate measures for the prevention and restoration of bone loss can be instituted.

Hip fractures are a frequent cause of hospitalization in the elderly population and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. As the population continues to age, the incidence of hip fractures is expected to increase. The internist/hospitalist plays a critical role in the care of this population as many patients have multiple medical ...

For a 50-year old Caucasian woman today, the risk of a hip fracture over her remaining life-time is about 17%. Tomorrow the situation will clearly be worse because the continuous increase in life expectancy will cause a three-fold increase in worldwide fracture incidence over the next 60 years.

Osteoporosis and Hip Fractures
Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 1990Epidemiologic studies have contributed to our understanding of osteoporosis through identification of groups at high risk of fracture and through discernment of factors associated with increased risk of low bone density and fracture. Many of the questions remaining can be addressed only through the use of epidemiologic methods in human populations ...

They realize clearly (as shown by the opening sentence of their discussion) that to withhold surgery deliberately in the management of fractured femoral necks in elderly patients is to fly in the face of the orthodox opinions ...
