Hip fracture (NHS Evidence - emergency and urgent care; NHS Evidence - trauma and orthopaedics) 26 July - 30 July
This annual evidence update covers fractures affecting the proximal femur. It should be of interest to all health professionals, reflecting the multidisciplinary approach required across both primary and secondary care. However, there may be clinicians who are involved in the management of polytrauma and high energy injuries that affect the hip joint who will find that this update is offset from their area of interest.
The update will be available here from July 26th: http://www.library.nhs.uk/trauma_orthopaedics/
