Hip fractures are quite serious. They are common in old people and associated with high mortality rates. Does anybody know if the risk of hip fracture increases after LL? I know there are limited studies about long-term effects of LL but I would like to know your opinion.

I've also read that some researchers have reported around 30% of people with hip fractures have had a prior fracture; this is known as the “fracture cascade”. They say that the increased risk of subsequent fracture may persist for ten years. Should we be particularly careful after LL as well?
