“…135 In the UK, the annual number of hip fractures is expected to increase from 79,000 to 104,000 by 2025. 135 Existing estimates of the health and social care costs of hip fractures in the UK range from £2B to £3B, 135,136 but UK estimates on hip fracture costs are limited and outdated. Hence the primary aim of this chapter is to estimate the primary care and hospital care costs of hip fracture up to 2 years post event for both index fracture and subsequent fracture, using large patient-level data sets representative of the UK hip fracture population.…”

“…However, the social and economic burden related to VFs is far higher, since they strongly predict risks for further fractures, even at other sites, also independently from bone densitometric criteria [4,5]. For instance, direct medical costs from fragility fractures to only the UK healthcare economy were estimated at £1.8 billion in 2000 and are expected to rise to over £2 billion by 2020, with most of these costs related to hip fracture care [6].…”

“…4,5 The expenditure on hip fracture in Germany in 2003 was 6 whilst fractures in the elderly were estimated to cost $14 billion in 2002 in the USA. 7 The risks of hip and vertebral fractures have been shown to be distributed exponentially in relation to age, 8 using Scottish data.…”
