Abstract

Sex, age and stability were recorded in 376 cases of trochanteric femoral fractures. In 168 cases the age and sex specific incidence was determined. When comparing our results with those in previous studies from the same region there was no increase that could not be related to age. This is in contrast to other reports from Scandinavia where investigators have found an increase in fracture incidence that could not be explained by the increasing number of old people. We, as others, have found a high proportion of unstable fractures. The unstable fractures did not occur more frequently in the oldest age groups.
