Abstract | Dr. Iris Chi, of the Department of Social Work and Social Administration, University of Hong Kong, is carrying out research into the social aspects of hip fractures among the territory's elderly. And she has found that many old people here still consider a fractured hip leads inevitably in a short time to death - with no chance of leading a normal life again. |
