Annual Evidence Update on Hip Fracture: 27-31 July 2009

An update of the evidence on this topic from NHS Evidence - trauma and orthopaedics and NHS Evidence - emergency and urgent care

On 27 July 2009, ‘NHS Evidence - trauma and orthopaedics’ in conjunction with ‘NHS Evidence - emergency and urgent care’ will release an Annual Evidence Update on Hip Fracture. The scope of the literature search covers fractures affecting the proximal femur. This Annual Evidence Update will appeal to all health professionals, reflecting the multidisciplinary approach required across both primary and secondary care. However, there may be clinicians who are involved in the management of polytrauma and high energy injuries that affect the hip joint who will find that our update is offset from their area of interest.
