In the UK the incidence of hip fractures is nearly 76 000 cases per year, with the vast majority of these fractures occurring in patients over the age of 70 years. Most patients who sustain a hip fracture will have significant comorbidities and up to 40% will have cognitive impairment.

One of the major factors contributing to a deterioration in the quality of life and independence of older adults is osteoporosis and hip fracture. Recent advances in our knowledge of the causes of hip fracture are providing new and effective approaches to the prevention of this disabling condition. Because hip fracture is a leading cause of disability,

Hip fractures are associated with significant morbidity and mortality and a major health problem in the United States (L. M. Brunner, L. Eshilian-Oats, & T. Y. Kuo, 2003). Eighty percent of hip fractures are experienced by 80-year-old women. Plain radiographs usually confirm the diagnosis, but if there is a high level of suspicion of an occult hip ...

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1930 Fractures in and around the hip joint arise from so many varying applications of force that we shall not attempt to describe the mechanism of such fractures at this time.

FEW areas in the management of trauma have provoked the interest of physicians, surgeons and researchers as widely and for as long as fractures of the proximal femur. And this is rightly so, for fractures in this area are cataclysmic for the patient, and for the physician are both common and challenging, requiring in their management the utmost of ...

There were an estimated 1.66 million hip fractures world-wide in 1990. According to the epidemiologic projections, this worldwide annual number will rise to 6.26 million by the year 2050. This rise will be in great part due to the huge increase in the elderly population of the world.

In the past, patients admitted for hip fractures had often sustained a contralateral hip fracture. The incidence of bilateral hip fractures has been reported to be 5%-10%, and in the future the number of bilateral hip fractures is expected to increase with the increase of unilateral hip fractures.

An untreated fracture of the hip will usually present as a nonunion or a malunion and can present a great challenge to the surgeon. We present our experience with 54 neglected hip fractures, of which 48 had surgical treatment. Malunions were treated with corrective osteotomy.

The centenarian population is increasing yet there is little about their morbidity and mortality rates following hip fracture. The aim was to review centenarians treated for proximal femoral fractures in Edinburgh describing treatment outcomes in relation to mortality, walking ability and residential status comparing centenarians with a the more ...
