HIP FRACTURE<\/h2>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Definition:<\/strong> During an impact, as a result of a fall, the upper end of the femur is fractured. Usually the fracture occurs in the femoral neck or trochanter.<\/p>\n

Treatment:<\/strong> In most cases, patients who suffer from a hip fracture are operated as soon as possible and the fractured bone is replaced with a prosthesis.<\/p>\n

Convalescence:<\/strong>\u00a0Rehabilitation must be carried out quickly after the operation, for a period of 3 months to 1 year. The patient must regain mobility as soon as possible for a better recovery.<\/p>\n

Affected people:<\/strong> The majority of hip fractures concerns the elderly, especially women (75%) because of osteoporosis, which makes their bones more fragile.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A meta-analysis of 11 clinical studies showed that standard protections with
hard or foam shells have an uncertain or non-existent effectiveness.<\/h3>\n

AIRBAG PROTECTION REDUCES THE FORCE OF IMPACT<\/h3>\n

Researchers at Virginia Tech compared the reduction in the force of the impact of a fall between airbag hip protectors and conventional hip protectors.<\/p>\n

Result:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Only the airbag protections kept the force of the impact BELOW THE RECOGNISED HIP FRACTURE THRESHOLD*, reducing the impact by 85%**.<\/p>\n
