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 ...

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.

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 1990
Recent studies from the United Kingdom and Sweden have demonstrated a dramatic rise in the number of people with hip fractures. It is our hypothesis that New Zealand is experiencing a similar rise in the number of hip fractures. The number of elderly people (over age 65 years) admitted to public hospitals in New Zealand over a 38-year period was ...

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.

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 ...
