title: Changes in osteocalcin after femoral neck fracture.
abstract: In a group of elderly patients with osteoporosis and femoral neck fracture, osteocalcin concentrations rose significantly in the first week after fracture fixation. The changes in osteocalcin correlated well with the changes in plasma 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (P less than 0.001).
