VanTienderen R, Fernandez I, Reich MS, et al. - Researchers assumed that patients who mobilize faster after surgical intervention would demonstrate fewer postoperative complications. Between October 2015 and September 2017, a retrospective review was conducted on patients with hip fractures. They applied physical therapy notes to track postoperative ambulation, and medical records were examined for 90-day postoperative complications. They included 163 individuals (64 femoral neck, 88 intertrochanteric, and 11 subtrochanteric fractures). It was shown that ambulating > 5 feet within 72 hours postoperatively are correlated with a lower postoperative complication rate. This research is the first to evaluate the association between postoperative hip fracture mobilization and morbidity and mortality.
