AbstractWe studied the incidence of subsequent fractures in persons of 50+ years from 1990 to 2012 and the relative risk (RR) of subsequent fractures after an index femur/hip fracture, stratified per 5-year age band. Patients suffering a fracture have a high incidence of a subsequent fracture; the RR of subsequent fracture after a femur/hip fracture ranged from 2 to 7.
