Abstract
Fractures of the hip remain one of the most common and potentially devastating injuries in the geriatric population. It is a significant healthcare concern, with mortality rates within the first year after hip fracture ranging from 14–36%. Furthermore, hip fractures are the commonest cause of acute orthopaedic admissions amongst the elderly. According to a systemic review of 18 studies, the probability of falling at least once in any given year for individuals 65 years and older is approximately 27 percent. Old persons are susceptible to falls for many reasons, such as poor balance, neuromuscular disease, polypharmacy, visual impairment and cognitive impairment. Hip fractures can also be very debilitating for geriatric patients, especially because they differ significantly from their younger counterparts in their ABSTRACT
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
