Those fractures lead to high costs and a decrease in quality of life. A national French survey was conducted, with the objectives to firstly assess the current management of hip fracture and its prevention, both in the osteoporotic and cancer settings, and secondly to evaluate the opinions of physicians on the potential use of minimally invasive implantable devices to prevent hip fracture in alternative of surgery. Materials and methods: This national survey was conducted in France between April and July 2017. Questionnaires were sent to orthopedic surgeons, interventional radiologists, oncologists, and rheumatologists. Completed questionnaires were analyzed and compared according to two indications: orthopedics-traumatology and oncology. Factors associated with these responses were assessed using univariable analyses, based on chi-square tests or an exact Fisher test, as appropriate. Results: A total of 182 questionnaires were completed and further analyzed. Physicians have highlighted the need for a low re-fracture rate and to improve life expectancy for more than 1 year (50% for responders of the orthopedics-traumatology questionnaire and 80% for the responders interested in both indications), as well as quality of life (12.5% and 31%, respectively), but with no significant differences in the oncologic indication. Most of the experts were willing to use or prescribe implantable devices for prevention (63% in orthopedics-traumatology and 93% in oncology), although limited clinical experience (54 and 58%) and surgical risk (around 30% in each indication) were considered as limits. Conclusions: Prevention of hip fracture remains a concern for physicians. More clinical experience with implantable devices, in particular in cancer patients, is needed, but implemented in a strategy to maximize patient recovery while reducing costs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina56080397","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,10]],"date-time":"2020-08-10T05:07:23Z","timestamp":1597036043000},"page":"397","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Hip Fracture Prevention in Osteoporotic Elderly and Cancer Patients: An On-Line French Survey Evaluating Current Needs"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"56","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2659-9731","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"La\u00ebtitia","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"INSERM UMR 1153, Equipe ECSTRRA, Service de Biostatistique et Information M\u00e9dicale, AP-HP H\u00f4pital Saint Louis\/Universit\u00e9 Paris Diderot, 75010 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1058-0884","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fran\u00e7ois H.","family":"Cornelis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Tenon Hospital, Sorbonne Universit\u00e9, 4 rue de la Chine, 75020 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sylvie","family":"Chevret","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"INSERM UMR 1153, Equipe ECSTRRA, Service de Biostatistique et Information M\u00e9dicale, AP-HP H\u00f4pital Saint Louis\/Universit\u00e9 Paris Diderot, 75010 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1127","DOI":"10.1002\/jor.20555","article-title":"Lytic lesions in the femoral neck: Importance of location and evaluation of a novel minimally invasive repair technique","volume":"26","author":"Kaneko","year":"2008","journal-title":"J.
