Loss of Follow-up in Orthopaedic Trauma: Who Is Getting Lost to Follow-up?

abstract：:A unique case of coexistent intertrochanteric and subcapital fractures of the hip is presented. A review of the literature found only one previous report of the simultaneous occurrence of these fractures. Closed reduction with in situ pinning was performed. Other treatment alternatives are reviewed and discussed. ...
