Original Title:
Hoftebeskyttere til forebyggelse af hoftebrud – en kommenteret udenlandsk medicinsk teknologivurdering
Authors' recommendations:
There is no conclusive evidence that hip protectors prevent hip fractures. Therefore this Danish comment of the Canadian HTA does not recommend distribution of hip protectors for all citizens in nursing homes.
