This article describes the state of knowledge regarding gender differences with respect to hip fracture and its subsequent outcomes. Most of the work to date investigating hip fracture patients has been done with women, yet some evidence from a few studies with a significant number of male hip fracture patients and from nonfracture samples suggests that women and men may be different at the time of fracture and will have a different course of recovery.
本文描述了有关髋部骨折及其后续结果方面性别差异的知识现状。迄今为止,大多数针对髋部骨折患者的研究工作都是以女性为对象开展的,然而,一些针对大量男性髋部骨折患者的研究以及非骨折样本研究的证据表明,女性和男性在骨折时可能存在差异,并且恢复过程也会有所不同。
