http://www.hiphealth.ca/blog/gerard-slobogean-receives-michael-smith-foundation-for-health-research-scholar-award-to-improve-the-musculoskeletal-health-of-british-columbians
Unlike elderly hip fractures that are commonly treated with a joint replacement, young patients are typically treated with surgical fixation devices to facilitate fracture healing, preserve the native hip, and allow for higher functional demands.
