Hip fractures

I wonder if anyone knows the incidence of missed hip fracture on X-ray? For example, elderly patient attends and cannot 
walk following a fall on hip. X-ray, seen by competent specialist, shows no fracture. Patient fails to mobilise, and a 
second X-ray two days later, shows a fracture. 

Best wishes,
