Annual bone loss rate was estimated in a group of randomly selected 150 nonsurgical and nonosteoporotic early postmenopausal women, 42-56 years, with the use of the mathematical equation proposed by Christiansen et al. (OSTEOTREND-R) [1]. Fifty-six women were characterized as high turnover patients (estimated annual bone loss more than 2.

Article Synopsis
- The MEDOS study investigated hip fracture incidence in six Mediterranean countries over a year (1988-1989), focusing on the types of fractures and the surgical interventions required.
- Most fractures were found to be extra-capsular, with 85% of these and 84% of intra-capsular fractures receiving surgical treatment, involving hip replacements or stable fixation, varying by center.
- During hospitalization, minor complications occurred in 26% of patients, serious complications in 2%, and a 5.1% mortality rate was observed, with an average hospital stay of 24 days, often shorter for surgical cases.
