Hip fractures. epidemiology and validation of hospital data on 582 fractures during 1994-2008
Background The exact number of hip fractures occurring in Norway is unknown. Estimates vary from 7000 to 9000 per year, constituting great human costs and expenditure of health resources. An injury registry (IR) was July 1. 1985 established in Harstad, Norway and contains by now 25 years of prospect...
