The risk of subsequent fractures in community-dwelling men and male veterans with hip fracture

The risk of subsequent fractures in community-dwelling men and male veterans with hip fracture

More than 1/3 of the 300,000 hip fractures that occur each year among the elderly in the US occur in men, with a rate in white men of approximately 19 per 1,000 person-years. Colon-Emeric et al hypothesized that men with hip fractures would have a significantly greater rate of subsequent skeletal fr...

Zusammenfassung:More than 1/3 of the 300,000 hip fractures that occur each year among the elderly in the US occur in men, with a rate in white men of approximately 19 per 1,000 person-years. Colon-Emeric et al hypothesized that men with hip fractures would have a significantly greater rate of subsequent skeletal fractures than men of the same age without hip fracture.
