ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to synthesize the recently published scientific evidence on disparities in epidemiology and management of fragility hip fractures. RECENT FINDINGS:
There have been a number of investigations focusing on the presence of disparities in the epidemiology and management of fragility hip fractures. Race-, sex-, geographic-, socioeconomic-, and comorbidity-based disparities have been the primary focus of these investigations. Comparatively fewer studies have focused on why these disparities may exist and interventions to reduce disparities. There are widespread and profound disparities in the epidemiology and management of fragility hip fractures. More studies are needed to understand why these disparities exist and how they can be addressed.Palavras-chave
