“…Some studies did not find this seasonal variation (25)(26)(27)(28) , but the result obtained was similar to that found in other studies (29)(30)(31)(32) . Although the cause of this variation is still uncertain, some explanations include a decrease in neuromuscular coordination and vitamin D deficiency in winter periods (33) .…”

“…The seasonal fall incidence variation presented in this paper might add interesting information to previous findings in the literature (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). The fact that almost all falls (97%) took place indoors excludes a direct comparison with the higher fall incidence at low temperatures that was reported by Luukinen et al (13) and Campell et al (14).…”

“…Seasonal variance in hip fracture incidence, with higher incidence connected to winter conditions, has been reported in several studies (8)(9)(10)(11). Regarding fall incidence, no consistent pattern of seasonal variation was found among old people in residential care in Sweden (5), nor regarding injurious falls among community-living old people in Finland (12).…”

“…The minimally invasive DHS requires less operating time, reduces the amount of intraoperative blood loss, and allows patients to be discharged earlier. This may carry benefit to the patients, and has significant financial implications to the hospital [7,9,10,14,18,19,21].…”
