BACKGROUND
Femoral neck fractures and trochanteric fractures have distinct biomechanical mechanisms, but the anatomical determinants of fracture type remain incompletely understood. We compared proximal femoral morphology, acetabular morphology, and bone mineral density between fracture types in elderly Japanese patien...

Fracture site was associated with differences in care needs and frailty among older adults, and distal radius fractures were more common among individuals with lower care needs, whereas pelvic and distal femur fractures were more common among those with advanced frailty.

DRFs in older adults may reflect preserved function and skeletal fragility rather than advanced frailty and represent a critical window for initiating osteoporosis treatment to prevent subsequent fractures and improve long-term outcomes.
