  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2014/0615/p945.html

  Hip fractures cause significant morbidity and are associated with increased mortality. […] Most fractures are treated surgically unless the patient has significant comorbidities or reduced life expectancy. […] Patients should receive prophylactic antibiotics, particularly against Staphylococcus aureus, before surgery. […] In addition, patients should receive thromboembolic prophylaxis, preferably with low-molecular-weight heparin. […] Rehabilitation is critical to long-term recovery. […] Unless contraindicated, bisphosphonate therapy should be used to reduce the risk of another hip fracture. […] Patients should receive post-fracture rehabilitation to help restore functional capability. […] The consulting orthopedic surgeon determines the most appropriate surgical procedure. […] For femoral neck fractures, there is debate as to whether open reduction and internal fixation or arthroplasty is the better treatment.

• #2 Hip Fractures: Diagnosis and Management – PubMed

  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36521464/

  Hip fractures are common causes of disability, with mortality rates reaching 30% at one year. […] Operative management within 24 to 48 hours of the fracture optimizes outcomes. Fractures are usually managed by surgery, with the approach based on fracture type and location; spinal or general anesthesia can be used. […] Nonsurgical management can be considered for patients who are not good surgical candidates. Pre- and postoperative antistaphylococcal antibiotics are given to prevent joint infection. Medications for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis are also recommended. […] Early postoperative mobilization, followed by rehabilitation, improves outcomes. Subsequent care focuses on prevention, with increased physical activity, home safety assessments, and minimizing polypharmacy. […] If not recognized and treated, these fractures can progress to complete and displaced fractures with high rates of nonunion and avascular necrosis.

  Hip fractures can be very painful. For this reason, prompt surgical treatment is recommended. Treating the fracture and getting the patient out of bed as soon as possible will help prevent medical complications such as bed sores, blood clots, and pneumonia. […] Most hip fractures require surgical treatment within 1 to 2 days of injury. Only a very small group of nondisplaced fractures in healthy patients can be treated without surgery, while a separate small group of patients may be too sick to safely have surgery. […] Surgical treatment is required to relieve the acute pain of the fracture and to allow the patient to get out of bed. Having surgery as soon as possible can lessen the risk of complications. […] Treatment for a hip fracture depends upon the type and location of the fracture, as well as the age and condition of the patient.

• #4 Why Hip Fractures Require Surgery & Treatment | UTSW Medical Center – MedBlog

  https://utswmed.org/medblog/hip-fracture-surgery-fall/

  Surgery to repair a hip fracture should be done within 24-48 hours. […] Every patient with a fall-related hip fracture should get it fixed within 24-48 hours. […] Delaying treatment can lead to serious, even fatal complications. […] The longer you wait to get treatment after a hip fracture, the weaker and frailer your body becomes. […] Earlier surgery means faster pain relief. […] If treatment is delayed, you might experience more pain, lose more strength, and need a longer recovery period. […] The more time you spend immobile, the more likely you are to develop complications such as pneumonia, bedsores, and blood clots. […] Many studies have shown that delayed hip fracture treatment increases the risk of death. […] If you fall and suspect a hip fracture, dont try to tough it out. Seek medical attention right away.

• #7 Can a Hip Fracture Heal Without Surgery?

  https://www.parkwayeast.com.sg/health-plus/article/healing-a-hip-fracture

  A hip fracture can happen due to a collision, old age, and a sedentary lifestyle. […] But does a hip fracture always require surgery to heal? Dr Ganesan Naidu, orthopaedic surgeon at Parkway East Hospital, sheds light on this question, and the appropriate treatments individuals can seek for hip fractures. […] Determining whether a hip fracture can heal with or without surgery depends on the results of medical investigation such as an X-ray, MRI or a CT scan, which will help the doctor identify the location and extent of the injury. […] In these few cases, a hip fracture may be recommended to heal without surgery: The hip fracture is non-displaced. A non-displaced fracture refers to a situation where the bones remain in alignment after the fracture. […] In the few cases where surgery is not recommended by a doctor, there may be several ways a hip fracture can be encouraged to heal and pain can be managed.

• #9 Hip Fracture: The Choice of Surgery – Orthogeriatrics – NCBI Bookshelf

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK565572/

  Hip fractures are operated with either prosthesis or various kinds of fracture fixation devices, with the aim of immediate mobilization with full weight-bearing. […] The extensive literature has created partial treatment consensus: Undisplaced femoral neck fractures seem adequately treated with parallel screws/pins or a sliding hip screw, while the displaced femoral neck fractures should be given a prosthesis in elderly patients. […] The aim of hip fracture surgery is to allow immediate mobilization with full weight-bearing, aiming to achieve the previous level of function, ranging from maintaining normal walking in self-reliant elderly patients to pain relief in chronic bedridden nursing home residents. […] Surgery is technically challenging, with body weight transfer through a broken oblique column, often with reduced bone quality due to osteoporosis thus the risk of reoperation is high.

• #10 Hip Fractures – OrthoInfo – AAOS

  https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases–conditions/hip-fractures/

  If a femoral neck fracture is not displaced, the most common treatment is in-situ pinning. In this procedure, surgical pins or screws are passed across the fracture site to hold the ball of the femur in place while the fracture heals. […] Displaced fractures of the femoral neck are often treated with hip replacement. For elderly patients, a hemi-arthroplasty, or partial hip replacement, is typically the treatment of choice; however, in properly selected patients, there may be a functional benefit to total hip replacement. […] Intertrochanteric fractures are treated surgically with either a sliding compression hip screw and side plate or an intramedullary nail. […] Subtrochanteric fractures involve the upper part of the shaft of the femur, just below the hip joint. They are treated surgically with an intramedullary nail into the shaft of the femur and a screw placed through the nail into the femoral head.

  Depending on health and injury pattern this bone can take 3-4 months to heal without surgery. Physical therapy for hip and knee range of motion is started around 6 weeks once bone has healed enough to prevent displacement with motion. […] Surgeons like to fix fractured hips as soon as possible. Occasionally surgery has to be delayed if patients are too sick or unstable from a medical standpoint for surgery. The type of fracture determines the type of surgery that is required. […] Hip fractures that occur in the femoral neck may require surgery depending on the location of the break, whether the broken bones are out of place (displaced) and the severity of the fracture. […] Nondisplaced femoral neck fractures can be treated with 3 screws placed through small incisions. This surgery takes less than 30 minutes and allows for immediate weight bearing in the elderly patient.

• #12 Physical therapy in our clinic for Hip Pain – Fractures

  https://www.rmts.clinic/Injuries-Conditions/Hip/Hip-Issues/Hip-Fractures/a~324/article.html

  The goal of any surgical procedure to treat a fractured hip is to hold the broken bones securely in position, allowing the patient to get out of bed as soon as possible. Many methods have been invented to treat the different types of fractures. Most hip fractures are treated in one of three ways: with metal pins, with a metal plate and screws, or replacing the broken femoral head with an artificial implant. […] Fractures that occur through the neck of the femur, if they are still in the correct position, may require only two or three metal pins to hold the two pieces of the fracture together. This procedure, called hip pinning, is fairly simple and allows patients to begin putting weight down right after surgery. […] When the hip fracture occurs through the neck of the femur and the ball is completely displaced, there is a very high chance that the blood supply to the femoral head has been damaged. This makes it very likely that AVN of the femoral head will occur as a complication of this type of hip fracture. […] The procedure is called hemiarthroplasty because only half of the joint is replaced. The socket of the hip joint is left intact.

  Intertrochanteric Fractures are common extracapsular fractures of the proximal femur at the level of the greater and lesser trochanter that are most commonly seen following ground-level falls in the elderly population. […] Treatment is generally operative with sliding hip screw versus cephalomedullary nail depending on fracture stability. […] Nonoperative treatment includes protected weight bearing for nonambulatory patients, those at high risk for perioperative mortality, and those with skin breakdown at the surgical site. […] Operative treatment includes closed reduction and intramedullary nail fixation (IMN) for stable and unstable fracture patterns, with strong recommendations for the use of cephalomedullary nails in unstable fractures. […] Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is indicated for stable fracture patterns, with techniques including sliding hip compression screw and proximal femur locking plate.

  Arthroplasty replaces the acetabulum and the head of the femur, whereas hemiarthroplasty replaces only the femoral head. […] Internal fixation results in lower morbidity, including decreased blood loss and deep wound infection. […] However, lower reoperation rates have been noted with arthroplasty. […] Additionally, arthroplasty has a reduced risk of avascular necrosis and nonunion, and allows for earlier recovery. […] Patients should receive prophylactic antibiotics within one to two hours before surgery, particularly against Staphylococcus aureus, the major pathogen of concern. […] Patients should receive thromboembolic prophylaxis, preferably with low-molecular-weight heparin. […] Because a previous hip fracture is a risk factor for another hip fracture and because bisphosphonates reduce that risk, patients should receive bisphosphonate therapy, regardless of bone mineral density results, unless contraindicated. […] All patients require rehabilitation therapy after hospital discharge, but the best strategies to improve mobility are not fully known. […] Long-term care is essential to return the patient to the most functional state as soon as possible, ideally to prefracture level of activity.

  Conservative treatment should be avoided in modern healthcare systems, except in the case of few terminally ill patients who can be kept pain-free by analgesics in their last few days of life. […] The overall choice stands between (1) femoral head removal and insertion of a prosthesis, or (2) femoral head preservation by internal fixation, wherein the main overall predictor for failure is initial fracture displacement. […] Undisplaced femoral neck fractures may be complicated by non-union, with or without fracture collapse and, after a minimum of 36 months, radiographically evident avascular necrosis of the femoral head. […] Prostheses are now the most common treatment for displaced fractures, with improved results varying with the approach, cementation and THA/HA.

  Total hip replacement involves replacing your upper femur and socket with a prosthesis. Based on research, this type of surgery has the best long-term outcomes in otherwise healthy people who live independently. It’s also the most cost-effective because it often eliminates the need for more surgery later on. […] Rehabilitation will be required once you’re discharged from the hospital. Depending on your age and condition, you may be sent home or to a rehabilitation facility. […] You’ll need physical therapy to help you regain your strength and ability to walk. This can take up to three months. Most people who have hip surgery to repair a fracture regain most, if not all of their mobility following treatment.

  Surgical treatment is essential to ease the acute suffering caused by a fracture, enabling the individual to get up from the bed. It is feasible to reduce the risk of problems by undergoing surgery promptly. The nature and placement of different types of hip fractures, including the patient’s age and health, all influence treatment options. […] Metal screws, plates, and rods can fix a hip fracture. Artificial substitutes (prostheses) of sections of the hip joint may be required under certain circumstances. […] The surgical treatment you receive is usually determined by the location and severity of the breakage if the shattered pieces are misaligned (aka displaced) and your age and underlying health issues. Among the possibilities are: Internal repair using screws: Screw fixation is used to restore the inside. Solid and durable, stainless steel and titanium screws are placed into the fractured bone to keep it together for the healing duration. Sometimes, there will be a metal plate for screw fixation stability along the femur. Partial hip replacement: A surgeon may extract the head and femoral neck bone and implant a metal prosthetic if the end(s) of the shattered bone is displaced or destroyed. Those with additional health problems, cognitive disability, or inability to live independently may benefit from a partial hip replacement. Total hip replacement: Manufactured pieces substitute the upper femur and the socket in your pelvic bone (prostheses). Research demonstrates that complete hip replacement seems more cost-effective/affordable among apparently robust independent adults and is linked with superior long-term results.

  Managing Pain From a Broken Hip […] A broken hip is a serious injury that is very painful and can keep you from walking. People with broken hips may be at risk for other problems, such as pneumonia, blood clots, and muscle weakness. Some problems can be life threatening. For that reason, if possible, broken hips are treated with an operation to repair the hip, physical therapy to help you gain strength after the operation, and medicine to help ease the pain. […] Your doctor may give you medicines to treat the pain before or after an operation to repair the broken hip. Some of these include: Acetaminophen. This non-aspirin pain medicine is often used for many types of pain, such as body aches and headaches. It usually is not strong enough by itself to relieve the pain. […] Some research shows that nerve blocks used before, during, or after an operation may ease short-term pain more than the usual treatment of opioid or NSAID pain medication. Nerve blocks may help you avoid „delirium,” or confusion and cloudy thinking, which can be caused by pain or by opioid pain medicines.

The traction keeps your muscles in place as the fracture heals. This type of non-surgical hip fracture treatment is done in certain cases, like intertrochanteric fractures. […] For non-surgical treatments of hip fractures, it may take around 12 weeks of bed confinement. However, your doctor may recommend weight-bearing exercises you can do in bed. This helps you improve your range of motion and muscle strength even with limited movement. […] In comparison, after surgery, you can usually walk on your own or with assistive devices as early as the first or second day. Recovery usually takes 6 to 8 weeks, during which the bone heals and you will gradually regain your range of motion. Full recovery might take months in some patients, and physical therapy is recommended to speed up healing.

Nurses, relatives, physical therapy, or the use of a walker or cane might be necessary. […] On the first day following surgery, your treatment team will most likely urge you to get out of bed and move. The first priority of physical therapy will be on range-of-motion and strength activities. You may have to transfer to a prolonged care facility due to the sort of operation you had and if you have support at home. […] Given a distinctive abnormality at the fracture site, the most common complication following treatment is a varus and procurvatum malunion or nonunion. This problem can be reduced by establishing an appropriate reduction and stable fixation at the time of first operation. It’s vital to screen out any systemic factors to the nonunion, including vitamin or mineral deficits, as well as infection, as should be with all fracture nonunions. After systemic causes have been eliminated or treated, revisions can begin with the goal of rectifying the abnormality.

[…] Patients should receive thromboembolic prophylaxis, preferably with low-molecular-weight heparin. […] Because a previous hip fracture is a risk factor for another hip fracture and because bisphosphonates reduce that risk, patients should receive bisphosphonate therapy, regardless of bone mineral density results, unless contraindicated. […] All patients require rehabilitation therapy after hospital discharge, but the best strategies to improve mobility are not fully known. […] Long-term care is essential to return the patient to the most functional state as soon as possible, ideally to prefracture level of activity.

  This surgery is urgent and patient is medically optimized for the proposed procedure and requires no further medical evaluation at this time. Please discuss with anesthesia that spinal anesthesia is preferred if appropriate and safe. […] All patients with hip fractures should receive timely, effective, multi-modal analgesia. As part of this the Departments of Anesthesia and Perioperative Care, Emergency Medicine, Orthopedic Surgery recommend all patients receive an ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca block (FIB) as soon as appropriate and possible as this has been shown to decrease pain, need for opioids, and assist in timely transfer to OR. […] DVT prophylaxis: start POD #1. […] Start Calcium Carbonate 1250mg daily on discharge (alternatively can order extra strength Tums twice daily). […] If PCP not able to be contacted or to manage osteoporosis, Geriatrics or medicine consult places 'referral to orthopaedics-skeletal health’ for follow up 1-2 months after discharge.

  Hip fractures cause significant morbidity and are associated with increased mortality. […] Most fractures are treated surgically unless the patient has significant comorbidities or reduced life expectancy. […] Patients should receive prophylactic antibiotics, particularly against Staphylococcus aureus, before surgery. […] In addition, patients should receive thromboembolic prophylaxis, preferably with low-molecular-weight heparin. […] Rehabilitation is critical to long-term recovery. […] Unless contraindicated, bisphosphonate therapy should be used to reduce the risk of another hip fracture. […] Patients should receive post-fracture rehabilitation to help restore functional capability. […] The consulting orthopedic surgeon determines the most appropriate surgical procedure. […] For femoral neck fractures, there is debate as to whether open reduction and internal fixation or arthroplasty is the better treatment.

  Hip fractures are common causes of disability, with mortality rates reaching 30% at one year. […] Operative management within 24 to 48 hours of the fracture optimizes outcomes. Fractures are usually managed by surgery, with the approach based on fracture type and location; spinal or general anesthesia can be used. […] Nonsurgical management can be considered for patients who are not good surgical candidates. Pre- and postoperative antistaphylococcal antibiotics are given to prevent joint infection. Medications for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis are also recommended. […] Early postoperative mobilization, followed by rehabilitation, improves outcomes. Subsequent care focuses on prevention, with increased physical activity, home safety assessments, and minimizing polypharmacy. […] If not recognized and treated, these fractures can progress to complete and displaced fractures with high rates of nonunion and avascular necrosis.
