“…The different trends within the same country highlight both regional variations in hip fracture incidence and the possibility of regional differences in secular trends within the same country. However, national data from the hospitals' patient administrative systems (30) recently showed continuously decreasing rates overall between 1999 and 2008 (0.7%/year in men and 1.2%/year in women) in line with the data from Oslo.…”

Despite wide variations in hip rates fractures worldwide, reasons for such differences are not clear. Furthermore, secular trends in the age-specific hip fracture rates are changing the world map of this devastating disease, with the highest rise projected to occur in developing countries. The aim of our investigation is to systematically characterize secular trends in hip fractures worldwide, examine new data for various ethnic groups in the United States, evidence for divergent temporal patterns, and investigate potential contributing factors for the observed change in their epidemiology. All studies retrieved through a complex Medline Ovid search between 1966 and 2013 were examined. For each selected study, we calculated the percent annual change in age-standardized hip fracture rates de-novo. Although occurring at different time points, trend breaks in hip fracture incidence occurred in most Western countries and Oceania. After a steep rise in age-adjusted rates in these regions, a decrease became evident sometimes between the mid-seventies and nineties, depending on the country. Conversely, the data is scarce in Asia and South America, with evidence for a continuous rise in hip fracture rates, with the exception of Hong-Kong and Taiwan that seem to follow Western trends. The etiologies of these secular patterns in both the developed and the developing countries have not been fully elucidated, but the impact of urbanization is at least one plausible explanation. Data presented here show close parallels between rising rates of urbanization and hip fractures across disparate geographic locations and cultures. Once the proportion of the urban population stabilized, hip fracture rates also stabilize or begin to decrease perhaps due to the influence of other factors such as birth cohort effects, changes in bone mineral density and BMI, osteoporosis medication use and/or lifestyle interventions such as smoking cessation, improvement in nutritional status and fall prevention.

“…The necessity for a comprehensive preventive policy and planning for future treatment increases the importance of gathering data on the incidence and trends of hip fractures (1,3,6). Regional, sample-sized, and institutional studies have tried to identify frequency, demographic structure, and fracture site, aiming to contribute to preventive policies and treatment planning (1,(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)13,14,16). However, in explaining their own limitations, all of these studies emphasize the need for further studies.…”

This observational study was conducted at a tertiary central referral hospital in the capital city of Turkey. We identified 687 hip fracture cases between January 2009 and December 2013. They were classified as femoral neck fracture, intertrochanteric femur fracture, and subtrochanteric femur fracture, according to the fracture site. Periprosthetic and pathologic fractures were excluded.Background/aim: Despite the importance of hip fractures, very few studies have assessed their epidemiological characteristics in Turkey. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency and demography of hip fractures from the recent data of a central training and research hospital. Materials and methods:In this descriptive study, we identified hip fracture cases between 2009 and 2013. The age, sex, region, injury pattern, and calendar year for all patients were evaluated.Results: Among the 687 patients (488 women, 199 men) described in our clinic's records, 122, 131, 144, 138, and 154 patients applied with hip fractures from the years 2009 to 2013, respectively. The mean ages of the women and men were 74.8 and 68.5 years, respectively. There were 220 patients who had femoral neck fracture (32%), 419 who had intertrochanteric fracture (61%), and 48 who had subtrochanteric fracture (7%). Conclusion:The female geriatric population may have an increasing and distinct hip fracture risk, mainly in the trochanteric region. Furthermore, recent studies that show variations in the frequency and demography of hip fractures highlight the importance of meticulous recording of patients' information. A nationwide survey of different categories of hospitals and various geographic regions of Turkey is also needed to inform effective prevention strategies.
