Treatment of hip fractures in the elderly

The treatment of hip fractures in the elderly is mainly based on surgical treatment methods, such as femoral head replacement for femoral neck fractures, or percutaneous gristle and hollow nail fixation after resetting the femoral head. In addition, intertrochanteric fractures need to be treated with intramedullary nailing, which can reduce the complications of bed rest and prevent the formation of various infections such as intrapulmonary infections, decubitus ulcers or urinary system infections. Hip fracture will be a relatively large traumatic blow to the elderly, which may lead to the end of life, so the hip joint in principle needs to be treated early out of bed rest, bed rest will be a fatal blow to the elderly, doctors habitually call hip fracture in the elderly as the last fracture of life, just because hip fracture is more dangerous.
