Coroner's Concerns
(1) It was unclear whether the clinical advice was to 'toe touch' or stay non-weight bearing.
(2) The current hospital policy in connection with reducing the risk of Venous Thromboembolism was unclear especially regarding outpatients who apparently account for the majority of fractures treated.
(3) Evidence of any information given to the patient was unavailable at the Inquest.
