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 ...

The American Journal of Medicine, 1993
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 ...

To the Editor.— Lyon and Nevins advocate persuasively the "nontreatment" of hip fractures in senile patients (238:1175,1977). 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 ...

The management of fractures of the hip
Nursing Standard, 1992Proximal femoral fractures are a common reason for admission to orthopaedic units, and one which may become even more regular as the population ages. Despite this, newcomers to the orthopaedic arena, such as nursing students, may be confused when faced by different hip fractures and the treatments which may be offered.

Fractures of the Hip in Children
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2006Fractures of the hip are uncommon in children, and their importance is related not to the frequency of the injury but to the frequency of complications. Many of these complications can be minimized or avoided by anatomic reduction and internal fixation. Open reduction frequently is necessary to obtain a stable, anatomic reduction. Regardless of the age
