Hip fractures are a common presentation to Irish hospitals with 3,701 hip fractures recorded by 16 hospitals in the Irish Hip Fracture Database (IHFD) in 2019. Second hip fractures (HF2) make up a significant proportion of hip fractures and represent an opportunity to prevent subsequent fragility fracture. Method Hip fracture datasheets from 2019 in six Dublin hospitals were analysed. Results 1,284 hip fractures in total were recorded in 2019 in these six hospitals. 112 of these were second hip fractures (8.72%). 24.1% of patients had a HF2 in year 1 post their first hip fracture (HF1). 14.3% of patients had a HF2 in Year 2, 8% in Year 3, 8.9% in Year 4 and 6.3% in Year 5. 17.9% of patients had an HF2 at an unknown time in relation to their HF1. 57.6% of all patients with any hip fracture were started on bone protection medications (BPMs) during their admission. 18.9% continued a pre-admission prescription. 7% of all patients were previously assessed and determined not to require BPM. 6.9% of patients were awaiting outpatient department (OPD) assessment for bone protection. 8.6% had no assessment for bone protection conducted. Of all patients with an HF2, 48.2% were started on BPMs on admission with their HF2. 33% continued BPMs started pre-admission. Discussion In 2019, approximately 1 in 10 hip fractures were second hip fractures. Evidence suggests that fracture liaison services represent a viable, economic means of preventing second hip fractures to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare expenditure.
