Patient autonomy in the management of back pain

http://fampra.oupjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/19/2/140

Respect for patient autonomy is an important ethical principle for medical practitioners; however, previous investigators have reported inconsistent attitudes amongst practitioners towards respect for patient autonomy. This study in empirical ethics used qualitative methods to investigate GPs' attitudes towards respect for patient autonomy in consultations for low back pain.

Prevention and Management of Hip Fracture in Older People

http://www.sign.ac.uk/guidelines/fulltext/56/

Hip fracture is a common serious injury that occurs mainly in older people. For many previously fit patients it means loss of prior full mobility; for some frailer patients the permanent loss of the ability to live at home. And for the frailest of all it may bring pain, confusion and disruption to complicate an already distressing last illness. Mortality after hip fracture is high: around 30% at one year. Despite significant improvements in both surgery and rehabilitation in recent decades, hip fracture remains, for patients and their carers, a much-feared injury. Highly Reputable

Effect and offset of effect of treatments for hip fracture on health outcomes

http://agatha.york.ac.uk/online/nhseed/19991933.htm

The authors evaluated two hypothetical interventions to prevent hip fracture in the overall female population and in a high-risk female population. For one intervention the authors assumed treatment costs approximating treatment with bisphosphonates, and for the other intervention the authors assumed treatment costs approximating those of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
