Description
Summary:The management of the older person with a displaced intracapsular hip fracture is one of the most significant aspects of musculoskeletal trauma. These patients require prompt, integrated pathway delivered care. The care delivered outside of the operating theatre and that performed within, are intertwined. Traditionally, surgeons have focussed predominantly only on the operative elements. In modern trauma care for older people, this focus must broaden. We provide for the first time a comprehensive overview of all elements of care for this important patient group. This brings together pathway elements from the National Hip Fracture Database Key Performance Indicators and NICE guidance alongside a synthesis of all current research output for intracapsular hip fracture.
