Y1 - 2020 N1 - T2 - Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide, 9e AB - Over 350,000 hip fractures occur annually, costing nearly $6 billion. Hip fractures are a life-changing injury. Forty percent of patients fail to regain preinjury ambulation status at 6 months and fail to return to independent living at 1 year, and nearly 25% of those suffering from this injury die within 12 months. Morbidity and mortality result from prolonged immobilization. Compromised preinjury ambulation status and dependent living are predictors of poor functional outcome and long-term mortality.1,2 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/11/12 UR - accessemergencymedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1167029871 ER -
