Adjacent fractures were more prevalent than distant ones for the second fractures; however, the differences had not reached statistical significance for the third-time fractures.
The incidence rates were calculated as the number of reported first-time fractures divided by the total number of person-years of follow-up (population at risk) and expressed per 10 person-years.
After exclusions, we had 636 eligible cases with a first time hip fracture, and 562 of these had pre-operative hip radiographs available.
Aaron Rodgers will start at quarterback for Green Bay for the first time since fracturing his collarbone against Chicago in week nine.
Rodriguez took batting practice Tuesday for the first time since fracturing his left hand July 25, but when he may return is uncertain.
Quarterback Donovan McNabb, starting for the first time since fracturing his right ankle on Nov. 17, played effectively but not spectacularly, completing 20 of 30 passes and leading an offense that accounted for one touchdown and two field goals.
Seismologist Brian Baptie of the British Geological Survey, which was not involved in the report, says this is the first time hydraulic fracturing has been shown to cause earthquakes, although it is not entirely surprising.
Our aim was to estimate the incidence and hospitalization rate of the most common fragility fractures in Italy: hip fractures, and, for the first time, other "minor" fractures such as forearm, humeral, ankle, and vertebral fractures, which do not result automatically in hospital admissions.
Using Y-Geo software, the combined finite-discrete element method (FDEM) has been used for the first time to simulate fracture explicitly of cemented tungsten carbide (WC-Co).
