Abstract: Femoral fractures from sideways falls in the elderly are associated with significant rates of morbidity and mortality. Approaches to prevent these catastrophic injuries include pharmacological treatments, which have limited efficacy. Prophylactic femoral augmentation systems are… read more here.
