Overview

Comprehensive analysis reveals trends in lower extremity and pelvic fractures over time, highlighting significant causes and burdens.

Key Points

  • In 2021, 78.05 million new lower extremity and pelvic fractures were reported globally, a 32% increase since 1990.
  • The age-standardized incidence rate of fractures has declined by 0.68% annually, reaching 974.98 per 100,000 population.
  • Falls were identified as the leading cause of lower extremity and pelvic fractures, particularly among older adults.
  • Increased focus on osteoporosis management and fall prevention strategies is critical to address the burden of lower extremity and pelvic fractures.
