Abstract

|
|
After hip fracture surgeries in old patients, early rehabilitation is essential to prevent postoperative complications and improve physical function. For the improved recovery of the patients, the communication of orthopedic surgeons and rehabilitation doctors should be well-organized, and mutual understanding between hip fracture surgery and rehabilitation is required. Hip fractures are classified into the femoral neck, intertrochanteric or subtrochanteric fractures. Surgical options such as pin fixation, sliding hip screw, intramedullary nail fixation, or joint replacement can be different by hip fracture types. During rehabilitation treatment after surgery, in addition to physical strengthening and early mobilization, occupational therapy dealing with activities of daily living or integration to community-care after discharge are recommended.
