Kang SW, et al. - The prevalence and clinical implications of concomitant hip and upper extremity fractures in the elderly were addressed via assessing 1,018 patients aged > 65 years who were surgically treated for femoral neck or intertrochanteric fractures between March 2008 and December 2018. Concomitant hip and upper extremity fractures were prevalent in 3.4% of the patients. Cognitive ability and a younger age of the elderly were identified to be correlated with concomitant upper extremity fracture. A longer hospital stay and greater difficulty in rehabilitation were evident among patients with these concomitant fractures.
