Trends and variation in the incidence of hip fracture in England before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic (2014–2024): a population-based observational study.
Webster J. The Lancet Regional Health – Europe 2025;:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lanepe.2025.101427.
[This study highlights an excess of hip fracture presentations to hospital since the COVID-19 pandemic, and continued disparities in incidence by deprivation, despite an overall decreasing long-term trend. More equitable prevention strategies are needed, such as through more widespread screening for fracture risk and better coverage of fracture liaison services.]
