Elderly people with diabetes who have a misaligned femoral neck fracture are candidates for total hip replacement surgery.
Patients need to control their blood sugar before, during and after surgery. Because the trauma caused by the fracture will lead to blood sugar fluctuations, diabetes aggravation, high blood sugar and will affect the wound healing, so in the pre-operative surgery during and after the operation, need to strengthen the blood sugar test. Elderly people can have surgery if their blood sugar is well controlled.
Elderly people are in poor physical condition, and prolonged bed rest will lead to deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs, and pneumonia, etc. Therefore, timely total hip replacement surgery can help patients recover their mobility faster and prevent complications.
If a patient with diabetes has a dislocated femoral head and neck fracture, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for timely treatment.
