We have studied the incidence of fractures of the proximal femur in one English county from 1968 to 1991. Numbers have increased steadily, but the age-specific incidence has remained relatively unchanged since 1981. The increase is due to the rise in the population most at risk; this is likely to continue causing a 20% increase in demand for treatment by the year 2000. Suitable allocation of resources must be planned.
我们研究了1968年至1991年期间英国一个郡股骨近端骨折的发病率。骨折病例数稳步增加,但自1981年以来,特定年龄段的发病率相对保持不变。病例数增加是由于高危人群数量上升;到2000年,这可能会继续导致治疗需求增加20%。必须规划合适的资源分配。
