What to do with a broken hip

Hip fractures require a choice of treatment based on the specific fracture site and extent, including conservative and surgical treatment. Hip fracture, if it is a crack fracture of the iliac wing or acetabulum without displacement, can be treated conservatively. For example, bed rest, or the use of physical therapy such as lower extremity skin traction and bone traction. Functional exercises for muscle contraction should be performed during bed rest to avoid muscle atrophy. Most hip fractures are caused by high-energy impact, and most of the fractures are accompanied by significant displacement, which need to be treated by surgery; or femoral neck fractures, due to the non-healing of conservative treatment and the higher risk of femoral head necrosis, should also be treated by surgery, and some elderly people may need to undergo hip arthroplasty. Hip fractures, regardless of location and degree, should be treated regularly under the guidance of a physician.
