 Dynamic hip screw - Bromptonaut
>>I'm 78 and was told that is young for a hip fracture.

Jeez, I was 52. Youngest on the ward by about 30 years apart from somebody who'd had a motorbike accident.

Some concern that I was suffering from bone thinning. Had scans and got a bollow king from the GP for not accepting treatment with Alandroic Acid.

My own rationale is that the Brompton did a flick roll under me and dropped me more or less vertically from saddle height onto steel decking. Not just a normal topple but an oddity of a small wheel bike at low speed.
