FEMORAL NECK FRACTURES – BIOLOGICAL ASPECTS AND RISK FACTORS.
Journal Title: Journal of IMAB - Annual Proceeding (Scientific Papers) - Year 2014, Vol 20, Issue 4
Abstract
The strength of the bone is a function of its mechanical properties and bone geometry. The probability of the occurrence of femoral neck fracture is associated with both the trauma mechanism and magnitude of the acting forces as well as with the bone quality, the mental state, the incidence of falls, the use of medications, and other factors, the knowledge of which may help for better prevention of this devastating injury.
