A Twenty-Year Study of a Single Institution Examining Age, Gender, and Demographic Differences Between Subcapital and Peritrochanteric Hip Fractures

Our research indicated that women are more likely to develop hip fractures than men. Additionally, peritrochanteric fractures are more common than subcapital fractures. The risk of developing hip fractures increases with age, particularly after 75. Furthermore, hip fractures in women occur significantly later than in men, and the same applies to peritrochanteric compared to subcapital fractures. There may be demographic disparities between peritrochanteric and subcapital hip fractures.
