Journal ArticleDOI

Basic epidemiology of fractures of the upper and lower limb among Americans over 65 years of age.

TL;DR: Fractures at the hip were the most common, accounting for 38% of the fractures identified, and the proximal humerus, distal radius/ulna, and ankle also were common fracture sites; a pattern of rapidly rising rates with age was seen for fractures of the pelvis, hip, and other parts of the femur among women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiology of total knee replacement in the United States Medicare population.

TL;DR: Overall, the rates of postoperative complications during the ninety days following total knee replacement are low, and in the United States, blacks and individuals with low income undergo total knee Replacement less frequently and generally have higher rates of adverse outcomes following primary knee replacement.
Journal ArticleDOI

The epidemiology of peripheral fractures.

TL;DR: Among the elderly, fractures at the most proximal and most distal ends of the limbs have the highest incidence, and in the upper extremity, fractures of the proximal humerus and distal forearm are the most common, while in the lower extremities, those at the hip and ankle predominate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterogeneity of hip fracture: age, race, sex, and geographic patterns of femoral neck and trochanteric fractures among the US elderly.

TL;DR: Within the United States, a north-to-south gradient in rates of both fracture types was observed among women, while no clear pattern was found for men, and the results provide further evidence of sex and racial differences in the risk of osteoporotic fractures.
