Abstract:1540.59 days). CONCLUSIONS: Higher age and having arthroplasty were associated with increased risk of secondary hip fracture in elderly women. The higher risk of secondary hip fracture in patients with hip arthroplasty could be explained by their longer survival after primary treatment. Further analyses of risk factors are needed to elaborate effective prevention strategies for secondary hip fractures.
