Injury Oct 23, 2020
Rozenfeld M, Bodas M, Shani M, et al. - The present study was sought to calculate the potential influence of pre-operative patient conditions on the benefit of earlier hip fracture surgery for elderly individuals. Researchers conducted a retrospective study of individuals aged 65 and above with an isolated hip fracture following trauma, based on data from 19 hospitals of the national trauma registry available for the years 2015–2016. This study’s findings demonstrate that earlier hip fracture surgery was a beneficial technique for elderly patients even when their co-morbidities and medication intake are taken into account.
