What should the elderly do if they fall and hurt their crotch?

  Three areas of the body that are more likely to be injured in the elderly are the hip, lower back and wrist. For wrist and waist injuries, patients can still move on their own, and family members can easily perform home care. However, if the hip is injured, commonly known as the crotch, the patient immediately severe pain, bedridden, can not move, can not take care of their own urine and stool, family members accompanying people in the process of giving assistance to defecate, stuffing the potty, will aggravate the patient’s pain. Every day, patients and their families spend time in this painful and depressing mood, hoping to survive a few days or 1-2 months to usher in the patient’s improvement, but often the end is not what you want, why?  The elderly are very afraid of falling and injuring their hips, because osteoporosis in the elderly, very easy to cause fractures, even very slight violence, such as sitting on a horse, sitting empty, sitting up to get something, such a very slight action, can cause fractures, the formation of femoral neck fractures, fractures between the coarctation, due to pain and the nature of the patient’s fracture site, requiring a long time in bed, resulting in a series of complications: crushing pneumonia, bed sores, urinary tract infections. decubitus ulcers, urinary tract infections, etc. Despite the best efforts and care of the family and companions, the problem could not be solved. A lot of antibiotics were used, but they could not control the patient’s fever. In fact, all these are complications of the fracture itself, and it is precisely these complications that can take the patient’s life, while the fracture itself does not directly threaten the patient’s life. So what to do?  In this part of the fracture, it can be said that there is no young, “70” after “80” is very common, “60” can be said in this patient population is considered The “60s” are considered “children” in this patient population. The author has performed several cases of 90 years old and one case of 100 years old surgery, and also achieved good results. The experience gained is that if the patient is able to take care of himself or basically take care of himself before the fall, and if the cardiopulmonary function can be effectively improved with medication after an objective assessment, surgery can be considered and age is not a contraindication to surgery. Surgical treatment therapy has the following advantages: 1. The patient will be able to relieve pain the day after surgery. A companion can boldly assist by inserting a potty through the sick side to help defecate.  On the second day after surgery, the patient can sit up to 30° by shaking the head of the bed and gradually sit up to 90° within 1 week. 1 week later, the patient can sit on the edge of the bed. If the patient is physically fit, he or she can walk on the floor with the help of a walker. The elderly can effectively prevent cardiopulmonary complications by sitting up early and not being bedridden. Reduce the psychological, physical and economic burden of the accompanying person.  3. If the surgery goes well, the patient can recover smoothly, and it can even be said that there are basically no after-effects. It does not affect the patient’s natural life span, and turns the hip fracture, which is called the last fracture in life, into other.  In this age group of hip fracture, surgical treatment has perfect superiority, but whether this advantage can be brought into play needs to be integrated with the functional status of the patient’s systems to make an overall physical evaluation, and the age factor can be ignored, but the risks that exist in surgery cannot be ignored. Carefulness, caution, comprehensive adjustment of body functions and excellent medical and surgical disease management are the keys to ensure the success of surgery.
