The second hip fracture. An epidemiologic study.

V Finsen, P Benum

    Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica
    |October 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A previous hip fracture significantly lowers the risk of a second fracture on the same side. Cervical fractures offer the most protection, reducing risk to one-sixth.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Geriatric Medicine
    • Bone Health

    Background:

    • Hip fractures are a significant cause of morbidity in older adults.
    • Recurrent hip fractures pose a substantial clinical and economic burden.
    • Understanding risk factors for subsequent fractures is crucial for prevention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the risk of contralateral versus ipsilateral re-fracture after an initial hip fracture.
    • To determine if the type of initial hip fracture influences the risk or characteristics of a subsequent fracture.
    • To analyze the time interval between first and second hip fractures based on fracture type.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 151 patients with a history of hip fracture.
    • Subgroup analysis of patients experiencing a second hip fracture.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Comparison of fracture side, type, and time interval between initial and subsequent fractures.

    • Main Results:

    • A hip fracture reduces the risk of a second ipsilateral hip fracture to approximately one-fourth.
    • Cervical hip fractures showed a more pronounced risk reduction (one-sixth) for ipsilateral re-fracture.
    • A tendency for subsequent fractures to be of the same type as the initial fracture was observed.
    • The time to a second fracture was longer following a previous cervical fracture compared to a trochanteric fracture.

    Conclusions:

    • Initial hip fractures, particularly cervical types, confer a protective effect against subsequent ipsilateral fractures.
    • Fracture type may influence the risk and timing of recurrent hip fractures.
    • These findings have implications for targeted prevention strategies in patients with a history of hip fracture.
