Hip fractures in the elderly are amongst the most common fragility fractures. Hip fractures constitute a serious healthcare issue with reported mortality rates of up to 25% at one year. Considering our rapidly aging population, it is my belief that prevention is as important if not more important than treating the fracture once it has occurred.
