✦ Synopsis

An 8 year old child was involved in a road accident and sustained a large wound in the left groin; radiographs showed a fracture with loss of the proximal femur. After skeletal traction for 80 days, there was bony regeneration of the proximal femur. At 8 months she was able to walk without support and her left leg was 2 cm only shorter than the right.

A prospective survey of hip fracture incidence and outcome was conducted to evaluate their socioeconomic impact. Over the course of 1 year, 404 hip fractures were recorded in 339 women and 65 men following minor or moderate trauma. The subjects' ages were 82.8 Β± 10.0 years (mean Β± SD): 84.1 Β± 9.2 in

## Abstract The pattern of bone loss in the proximal femur was studied in 141 cadaveric femora from 36 women and 39 men ranging from 27 to 89 years of age. Bone mineral density (BMD) of the femoral neck, greater trochanter, Ward's triangle, and tensile and compressive stress regions were measured b
