• Hand, Feet (MT or MC) fracture are more likely stress fracture
• *Craniofascial are more likely trauma fracture </aside>

Prognosis

• 50% loss independence
• 30% LTC
• 20% 1-year mortality

Definition: fracture after low-energy mechanism (e.g., fall from standing).

Common in osteoporosis.

Typical sites: hip, wrist, spine, proximal humerus.

Hip fractures outcomes:

• 10–20% ↑ mortality at 1 year
