Abstract:
Introduction The number of fragility hip fractures (>60 years) are estimated to triple/quadruple by 2050. It is estimated that the prevalence of patient's contralateral hip fractures (HF2s) will increase also. Methods Single hospital, Retrospective review, 2013-2017, Radiograph review, n = 822. Results Management of patient's 2nd hip fractures accounted for 10.5% of all hip fracture surgeries. ~50% occurred within 3 years of the 1st hip fracture. There was no statistically significant difference in discharge destination, length-of-stay or mortality between the HF1 and HF2 cohorts. Discussion Patients with HF2s comprised a significant and stable proportion of all hip fractures treated. We advocate for the provision of a Fracture Liaison Service in each of the 16 hip fracture operating hospitals in Ireland to optimise the secondary prevention of hip fractures.

The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
