Orthogeriatrics in Hip Fracture [PDF]
Orthogeriatrics is a system of care for complex elderly patients who have suffered fragility fractures. This has resulted in demonstrable improvements in care for patients with hip fracture. The article includes a review of the early history of orthogeriatrics as well as current concepts in orthogeriatric care including the use of national databases ...

Intracapsular Fractures of the Hip [PDF]
The author reviews aspects of anatomy and physiology, especially vascularization and pathophysiology, as well as mechanisms of injury that influence the treatment decision for intracapsular fractures of the hip. A number of other factors that may influence surgeons’ choice between treatments are discussed, such as age, displacement, limited life ...

Additive manufacturing technologies like laser powder‐bed fusion offer great design freedom and individualization of products down to a batch size of one. However, parts fabricated with this technology suffer from poor quality. Acoustic assistance during the build process can minimize these drawbacks.

Reoperations of hip fractures [PDF]
The incidence and type of reoperations after osteosynthesis of cervical and trochanteric femoral fractures in the city of Göteborg, Sweden was studied from 1965 through 1981. The yearly incidence of reoperations decreased for both types of fractures over the years.

Fast track hip fracture care and mortality – an observational study of 2230 patients
Background Hip fracture patients are frail and have a high mortality. We investigated whether the introduction of fast track care reduced the 30-day mortality after hip fractures. Methods Fast track hip fracture care was established at our institution in
