Abstract

Hip fracture in frail people is an increasing problem with a major socio-economic impact. Besides, a first hip fracture is often followed by a second fracture of the opposite hip in the following years. The authors report on four cases with extra-capsular hip fractures treated not, only for the fracture but also to avoid future contralateral fracture by implanting an innovative device as a preventive measurement.
