Occult Hip Fractures

A short-cut review was carried out to establish whether CT or MRI is better at detecting an occult hip fracture. Six studies were directly relevant to the question. The author, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes, results and study weaknesses of these papers are tabulated. The clinical bottom line is that CT is a valid first-line investigation for a suspected plain X-ray occult hip fracture. If clinical suspicion remains after a negative CT scan, then MRI should be used.

Occult Hip Fractures

ABSTRACTOne of the most common acute injuries seen in the emergency department is the hip fracture. This injury is usually diagnosed by plain radiographs, however these fractures are sometimes not obviously apparent. Occult hip fractures present a pitfall for emergency department physicians. We present a case of a patient who sustained bilateral occult hip fractures. We review the epidemiology of the condition, examine what diagnostic studies are available that may help the physician avoid missing the occult hip fracture and what the literature tells us about the utility of each of these modalities. The prognosis of the occult hip fracture along with options for treatment is also discussed.
