BACKGROUND: The appropriate timing of hip fracture surgery remains a matter of debate.
We sought to estimate the effect of changes in timing policy and the proportion of deaths …

Background and purpose—It has been hypothesized that hospitals and surgeons with high
caseloads of hip fracture patients have better outcomes, but empirical studies have reported …

Abstract Background and Purpose: Two medical specialties, general surgery and
orthopaedic surgery, with different training programs but matching trauma certification …

Objective The aim of the present paper was to investigate the clinical efficacy of minimally
invasive elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) for long bone fractures in children …

Background: Proximal femur fractures are prevalent among the elderly and associated with
substantial morbidity, mortality, and early readmission. Early readmission is gaining …

Individual process indicators often do not enable the benchmarking of hospitals and often
lack an association with outcomes of care. The composite hip fracture process indicator …

Purpose Recent literature on hip fractures has focussed on the optimal environment for best
outcomes. One factor that has not been studied is the managing surgeon's training …

Introduction: The restoration of the preoperative biomechanics of the hip, in particular leg
length and femoral offset, are critical in restoring normal function and diminishing the risk of …

orthopaedic surgery, with different training programs but matching trauma certification …

Background Individual process indicators can be non-discriminative and often lack an
association with outcomes of care. To overcome this problem, these can be combined into …
