Increasing incidences of acetabular, pelvic, and proximal femur fractures in The Netherlands
The incidence of acetabular, pelvic, and proximal femur fractures has significantly increased in the last decade, most notably in acetabular and pelvic fractures. Furthermore, a shift toward out-patient treatment of acetabular and pelvic fractures was found. These findings highlight the need for improved fracture prevention and out-patient management strategies, while also underscoring the need for a nationwide registration for these injuries.
