  • Title: Intertrochanteric and femoral neck fractures in patients with parkinsonism.
    Author: Hammer AJ.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1991 Feb 16; 79(4):200-2. PubMed ID: 1996438.
    Abstract:
    Thirty-eight patients with parkinsonism were reviewed after fracture of the hip. The 12-month mortality rate was the same as in other patients with hip fractures but without parkinsonism. However, the morbidity was higher-with loss of independent existence, loss of ambulation and an increased risk of dislocation of the endoprosthesis.
