    Author : Susanne Hansson; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : hip fracture; femoral neck fracture; arthroplasty; complications; adverse events; patient-reported outcome measures PROM; rehabilitation;

    Abstract : Hip fractures are of major concern worldwide, but even if literature isabundant, there are still gaps to fill. The global outcome needs to be betterunderstood, including patient-reported outcome. Many studies focus onimproving surgical outcome, with less focus on medical complications. READ MORE

  4. 12. Studies on the complications and prediction of mortality after hip fracture surgery

    Abstract : An elderly patient who sustains a hip fracture has increased morbidity and mortality. Scandinavia presents the highest incidence annually of hip fractures worldwide. Femoral neck fracture (FNF) of the hip accounts for 50% of all hip fractures in geriatric patients. READ MORE

  5. 13. Aspects of bone quality and risk assessments in fracture and elective orthopaedic patients

    Author : Camilla Bergh; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Fracture; Fracture incidence; Epidemiology; Mortality; Osteoporosis; Frailty; Spinal stenosis; Bone quality; Bone mineral density;

    Abstract : Background: Bone quality, bone strength, and bone remodelling are important in many orthopaedic conditions and can have an impact on fracture incidence, bone healing, implant failure, and different outcome aspects. There is relatively sparse information on fracture incidence and mortality both for all fractures compiled and for some of the individual fracture locations. READ MORE
