However, in about 65% of people older than 55 years, radiologic evidence of OA was present without any symptoms. [38] Armstrong et al. reported a prevalence of 33% in postmenopausal women, of which one-third was symptomatic, compared to 11% in men older than 55 years. [ 37 ]
The incidence of hip fractures increases each decade from the sixth through the ninth for both women and men for all populations. The highest incidence is found among men and women ages 80 or older. [193] Between 35 and 50% of all women over 50 had at least one vertebral fracture. In the United States, 700,000 vertebral fractures occur annually ...
Surgical reduction and casting is possible in the majority of cases in people over the age of 50. [5] Pain management can be achieved during the reduction with procedural sedation and analgesia or a hematoma block. [5] A year or two may be required for healing to occur. [2] About 15% of people have a Colles' fracture at some point in their life ...
A femoral fracture is a bone fracture that involves the femur. They are typically sustained in high-impact trauma, such as car crashes , due to the large amount of force needed to break the bone. Fractures of the diaphysis , or middle of the femur, are managed differently from those at the head, neck, and trochanter ; those are conventionally ...

Posterior dislocations is when the femoral head lies posteriorly after dislocation. [5] It is the most common pattern of dislocation accounting for 90% of hip dislocations, [5] and those with an associated fracture are categorized by the Thompson and Epstein classification system, the Stewart and Milford classification system, and the Pipkin system (when associated with femoral head fractures).
The neck of a metacarpal is a common location for a boxer's fracture, but all parts of the metacarpal bone (including head, body and base) are susceptible to fracture. During their lifetime, 2.5% of individuals will experience at least one metacarpal fracture. Bennett's fracture (base of the thumb) is the most common. [4]
Age is the most dominant factor in hip fracture injuries, with most cases occurring in people over 75. The increase of age is related to the increase of the incidence of hip fracture, [ 58 ] which is the most frequent cause of hospitalization in centenarians, overcoming congestive heart failure and respiratory infection.
