Subsequent fracture risk after hip fracture surgery in China: a three-year retrospective cohort study
This study assessed the status and long-term follow-up of subsequent fractures in hip fracture patients in China. Refracture risk is driven by nonlinear age dynamics (peaking at 90 years), modifiable predictors (dementia and recent falls), and seasonal vulnerability (autumn fractures). Implementing a fracture liaison service model tailored to national conditions is essential to reduce fragility fractures and subsequent fractures, especially for vulnerable populations.
