Abstract: The proximal femoral fracture in the elderly is a serious public health problem. Surgical treatment of this fracture is used to reduce morbidity, together with postoperative physical therapy. The objective was to conduct a systematic review of physical therapy protocols in postoperative for fractures of the proximal femur in elderly.

“…With the population aging globally, hip fractures, often known as the “last fracture of life”, have become a common disease threatening the health of the elderly. The incidence of hip fracture in the elderly was 1.7 million in 1990 and is estimated to reach 6.3 million in 2050 [ 1 ]. Approximately two thirds of elderly patients with hip fractures lost their self-care ability in their daily life [ 2 ].…”

“…The incidence of hip fracture in the elderly has risen rapidly from 1.7 million in 1990 to an estimated 6.3 million in 2050 worldwide. [ 1 ] Disability, defined as loss or impairment of baseline daily performance after the fracture event, has been reported in two-thirds of this group of patients. [ 2 ] After surgery for hip fracture repair, higher rates of serious complications from pulmonary disorders such as pneumonia, atelectasis, and pulmonary thromboembolism have been reported in patients older than 60 years.…”

“…3 This review reminds us engaging in practice change, which requires an assessment of those interventions that are supported by evidence. For instance, the targeted change in clinical practice could include a particular intervention such as using tranexamic acid in knee arthroplasty, 12 hip arthroplasty, 13 and spine surgery 14 to reduce postoperative bleeding or a proposed practice change could involve a bundle of evidence-based practices applicable to a group of patients; treatment of elderly patients with hip fractures should consider the evidence for the type of implant, 15 use of closed suction drains, 16 anesthetic choice including pain management, 17 rehabilitation strategies, 18,19 the perioperative medical management, 20 and finally when to start medication to prevent subsequent fractures. 21…”
