Population

1253 consecutively admitted patients with fractured neck of femur in England (used for local resource use data), combined with population projections

Outcome

Future economic impact of fractured neck of femur in terms of bed days and direct secondary care costs (estimated for 1991-1992, 2011, and 2031)

The aging population in England will lead to a significant increase in the incidence and economic burden of hip fractures, requiring major initiatives for prevention and care.
