A prospective analysis was performed on 832 patients to determine the circumstances surrounding falls leading to hip fracture within a homogenous, elderly urban population. Special emphasis was placed on the season of year, time of day, location of fall, and other circumstances in which the fracture...
Osteoporotic acetabular fractures in the elderly are becoming more common. Regardless of treatment, most patients are managed with a period of protected weightbearing, even if a THA has been performed. We have tried to treat these patients analogously to geriatric femoral neck fractures in a way ...
** Undisplaced fractures in the elderly can be treated with internal fixation, often with cannulated screws. This is appropriate for valgus impacted subcapital fractures which are inherently stable, to prevent secondary displacement. This does still carry the risk of AVN or non-union, and therefore...

Analysis of these responses showed a very high interest in osteoporosis, fractures in the elderly from falls, and the prevention of such fractures. This interest was associated with physician age, with those above the age of 50 years being 2.3 times more likely to have an interest in each of...
The proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) is a commonly used internal fixation system for intertrochanteric fractures (IFs) in older adults. Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a degenerative lower extremity disease that occurs most frequently in the elderly. Some patients have already had KOA before...
