I have encountered elderly patients with hip fractures (femoral neck and intertrochanteric fractures) since my internship, and I would like to discuss my experience with them in the light of many years of experience. Elderly hip fractures should be sat up as early as possible to avoid long-term bed rest is the first priority, so that long-term bed rest complications will not occur and thus affect the patient’s life. In order to achieve this goal, it is of course best if the surgery can be performed early, so that the fracture end is stable and the activity is not painful. However, if the physical condition does not allow immediate surgery, one should not be bedridden, or at least sit up, because prolonged bedriddenness can cause gradual failure of the geriatric patient and thus endanger the life of the patient. There are not only cases of elderly patients who are bedridden, but also cases of life-threatening gradual failure.
