In a national cohort of 104,311 geriatric hip fractures, Kaplan-Meier analysis for contralateral hip fracture found the 10-year incidence to be 12.9%, of which nearly 70% were in the first 2 years, and predisposing factors were defined. As such, future research should aim to identify the cause and mitigate the risk of secondary contralateral hip fractures in geriatric patients.
