Abstract
In a hip fracture guard for protecting the upper end of the femur, there is a cover piece 1 which is intended to protect the upper end of the femur, and an attachment for placing the cover piece on the hip joint. The shock- absorbing outer surface of the cover piece is a hard shield, on the inner side of which there is a padding. The attachment is a belt-like member 2 which can be passed round the body, and below which the cover pieces 1 are secured on both sides. <IMAGE>
