Fig. 5

Change in difference between fractured and unfractured hip from hospital to follow-up. Symbols indicates type of surgical implant and difference between fractured and unfractured hip in hospital. The vertical line indicates the magnitude of the change in difference between fractured and unfractured hip from hospital to follow-up.
