Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Two hundred consecutive admissions to a community medical center with a diagnosis of proximal femoral fracture were analyzed to determine the left:right ratio. It was found that there were 134 left-sided and 66 right-sided fractures. Although no apparent reason was noted, this appears to be a significant finding that warrants further investigation. |
