The Norwegian Hip Fracture Register: Experiences after the first 2 years and 15,576 reported operations

Abstract: After only 2 years, our nationwide system for surveillance of demographics, treatment, and outcome of hip fractures is functioning well. As expected, the response rate for the 4-month questionnaires was relatively low due to the old population with high comorbidity and cognitive impairment. The different treatment methods used for patients in the same groups of fracture types show that there is still no consensus in Norway regarding the treatment of hip fractures.

“…I Norge har osteosyntese dominert, men de siste årene har det også hos oss skjedd en endring i retning av mer bruk av primaer protese. I 2005-06 ble 55 % av lår-halsbrudd med feilstilling operert med protese ifølge Nasjonalt hoftebruddregister, herav 51 % med hemiprotese (4,10).
