Over the past 10 years fractures in the elderly and their relationship to osteoporosis and other causes of bone fragility have been the subject of increasing interest. The investigation of current incidence of morbidity by the Medical Research Council's Working Party on Fractures in the Elderly resulted in a report on the incidence of fractures in persons over 35 years of age by Knowelden, Buhr, and Dunbar (1964). Other important related studies have been by Buhr and Cooke (1959), Nordin, Mac-Gregor, and Smith (1966), and Bollet (1968). All these studies show a similar sex and age incidence for certain types of fracture, particularly fractures of the femoral neck, of the upper part of the humerus, and of Pott's and Colles ' types of fracture
