How to manage hip fractures
Hip fracture is the most common disabling injury and cause of accidental death in elderly people. Incidence of hip fracture and its public health and economic consequences have risen and will continue to do so with an ageing population. In their clinical review (p 27) Parker and Johansen discuss the epidemiology and classification of hip fracture, and look into different components of care recommended at admission, on the ward, and during and after surgery. The authors also discuss approaches to multidisciplinary rehabilitation, and explore ways to assess and prevent falls and further fractures.
