Background

In a number of disciplines, positive correlations have been reported between volume and clinical outcome. This has helped drive the evolution of specialist centres to deal with complex or high risk medical conditions. Hip fractures are a common injury associated with high morbidity and mortality.

Aim

To assess whether volume of hip fracture cases attended to by individual hospitals is associated with the quality of care provided and clinical outcomes.

The effect of the environmental temperature on the healing of fractures was assessed in vertebrae of tails of young albino mice. It was found that fractures in animals kept at 33 degrees Celsius healed very rapidly (bony callus by 14 days) while in animals kept in the cold (8 degrees Celsius) fractures were still at the stage of granulation tissue at this time. Controls were at an intermediate stage. This result might have a clinical application.
