Mortality and subsequent fractures of patients with olecranon fractures compared to other upper extremity osteoporotic fractures

Background The incidence rate of olecranon fractures is highest in the elderly population. aim this study was to determine whether patients with have similar demographic and risk characteristics compared osteoporotic upper extremity fractures. Methods A retrospective data analysis performed diagnoses for fracture, distal radius fracture proximal humerus between 2014 2016. Results total 157 olecranon, 1022 451 were identified. mortality after comparable but statistically significantly higher (HR 1.97, 95% CI 1.19–3.27). subsequent an 10% at 1 year 14% 5 years risks did not differ a 6% 11% 0.65, 0.40–1.06). After lower: 2% 5% 0.35, 0.22–0.56). Discussion Patients essentially fractures, probability more
