      Purpose: Norway has among the highest incidence rates of fractures in the world. Vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) and trabecular bone score (TBS) provide information about fracture risk, but their importance have not ...
    • Impact of Total Hip Replacements on the Incidence of Hip Fractures in Norway During 1999–2019. A Norwegian Epidemiologic Osteoporosis Studies (NOREPOS) Study 

      Kjeldgaard, Helena Kames; Meyer, Haakon Eduard; O’Flaherty, Martin; Apalset, Ellen Margrete; Dahl, Cecilie; Emaus, Nina; Fenstad, Anne Marie; Furnes, Ove Nord; Gjertsen, Jan-Erik; Hoff, Mari; Schei, Berit; Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Tell, Grethe Seppola; Holvik, Kristin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The knowledge about why hip fracture rates in Norway have declined is sparse. Concurrent with decreasing hip fracture rates, the rates of total hip replacements (THRs) have increased. We wanted to investigate if hip fracture ...
