		I believe, however, that if we properly explain to our patients the devastating consequences of a hip fracture and the fact that these pads can be extremely effective in reducing their occurrence, most patients will readily accept them.
		Kannus and his colleagues in Finland reported the results of the use of an external hip protector in elderly people who were identified at significant risk for hip fracture.
		The data provided by Kannus and colleagues provide us with another effective method of prevention in addition to the pharmacologic approach and those falls-prevention measures currently being utilized.

	Study: Device may prevent broken hips: 11/23/00
		An estimated 250,000 people break their hips every year in the United States, and the National Institutes of Health predict that an aging population will push that to 650,000 by midcentury.
		About 10 different hip protectors are on the market, including a Finnish one described by Dr. Pekka Kannus, one of the designers, in today's New England Journal of Medicine.
		Robert D'Ambrosia, a surgeon at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center and past president of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, said Kannus' study was the first rigorous major study he has seen.

	British Medical Journal: Genetic factors and osteoporotic fractures in elderly people - Letter to the Editor
		In male twins the familial resemblance is explained by a significant contribution from genetic factors but not by the shared family environment, with genetic factors accounting for 35% of the variation in liability to fracture.
		A greater genetic contribution is also suggested at the spine in table A in Kannus et al's study (bmj.com/cgi/content/ full/319/7221/1334/DC1), although inference is limited by the small numbers of concordant pairs and the lack of data on differences between the sexes in rate of fracture.
		In contrast to the conclusion reached by the authors, these data show that genetic factors contribute to a third of the liability to osteoporotic fracture in men and are entirely compatible with the hypothesis that genetic factors contribute to a similar extent in women.

		Kannus' editorial promotes physical activity for the prevention of injurious falls among elderly people.
		He acknowledges the uncertainty that surrounds the effectiveness of specific exercise programmes tested as interventions in randomised controlled trials, in contrast to the epidemiological evidence from longitudinal cohort or case control studies.
		In the meanwhile, we whole-heartedly agree with Kannus that regular physical activity outside of formal exercise programmes is likely to be beneficial to younger and older people.

	Toss Out That Cast: Controlled Mobilization Best for Soft-Tissue Injury

		To prevent soft-tissue injuries from interfering in training and competition, treatment involves four phases, according to Kannus.

		Even with the interventions, the authors found no significant impact on any of the fall-related outcomes other than finding a longer time between falls.
		In a related commentary, Pekka Kannus and Karim Khan state that the apparent failure of the intervention to ward off future falls should not be cause to abandon hope.
		They further point out the author's difficulty in assessing adherence and argue that improving adherence to such interventions may be a critical factor to their success.
