“…The restoration of ambulatory function is a crucial requirement for elderly individuals residing in a community setting [16] . Furthermore, elderly individuals perceive functional capacity in everyday activities as a reliable measure of their overall health [17] . Therefore, walking status as a metric of physical recovery following hip fracture surgery is worthwhile to investigate.…”

“…Therefore, walking status as a metric of physical recovery following hip fracture surgery is worthwhile to investigate. Currently, walking recovery following hip fracture surgery to pre-fracture status is poor with about 50% recovering in 6 months and 38.6% in 2 years [17][18][19] . Notwithstanding progress in technology and treatment methods, this complication continues to be a significant issue.…”

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the functional recovery at six months postoperatively in elderly patients with hip fractures and to determine the risks of not regaining to the pre-fracture mobility level. Methods: The present study was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics, Pt BD Sharma PGIMS Rohtak covering pre-fracture and surgical related data. Of the 144 hip fracture surgery patients who attended a routine follow-up at a teaching university hospital, 100 patients met the inclusion criteria. Results: There were 70 patients walking outdoors independently before hip fracture. Of the 70 patients, only 15 patients reported walking recovery to the pre-fracture state and 11 patients could not walk at all. The numbers of the patient walking outdoors independently, indoors independently, walking in-and outdoors with aids, and not walking at all within 3 to 6 months post-hip fracture surgery were 15 (15%), 18 (18%), 42 (42%), and 25 (25%) respectively. There were significant differences among 2 groups in relation to patients' gender, education, current dwelling place, number of chronic disease, falling place, and use of walking devices before hip fracture. Postoperative walking success was significantly correlated with being male. It was also significantly better in people with graduate-level education and those living at home. There were no differences in BMI, living spouse, number of family members, number of falls, type of hip surgery, LOS before surgery, total LOS, anemia at admission, and pain. Conclusion: Walking recovery after hip fracture surgery was very poor at 3 to 6 months after hip fracture surgery. Based on our findings, older adults living in a long care facility should be provided their medical and functional needs through professional health-care providers and systematic health delivery systems. The therapeutic management for underlying diseases affecting surgery should precede unconditional early surgery. Older adults hospitalized during longer periods should be focused on their functional care.

“…The major transitional difficulties that older adults face after hip fractures are physical function limitations, and pain and its management [ 13 ]. Physical performance, including walking and ADL, is an essential prerequisite for older adults dwelling in a community environment [ 14 ]. Difficulties in physical performance in their life situations typically result in most older adults with various underlying diseases being transferred to other care settings [ 3 , 13 , 15 , 16 ].…”

Background This study aimed to explore older Korean women’s discharge transition experiences after hip fracture surgery. Methods This was a descriptive qualitative study. Face-to-face interviews following hip fracture surgery were conducted on 12 women aged 65–87 years. Data were collected 1 to 2 days before discharge and again 4 weeks after discharge following hip fracture surgery, and were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results Four main themes were identified: (1) challenge of discharge transition: unprepared discharge, transfer into other care settings, and eagerness for recovery; (2) physical and psychological distress against recovery: frail physical state and psychological difficulties; (3) dependent compliance: absolute trust in healthcare providers, indispensable support from the family, and passive participation in care; and (4) walking for things they took for granted: hope of walking and poor walking ability. Conclusions After their hip fracture surgeries, older women hoped to be able to walk and perform simple daily chores they previously took for granted. Considering the physical and psychological frailty of older women undergoing hip surgery, systematic nursing interventions including collaboration and coordination with other healthcare professionals and settings are necessary to ensure the quality of continuous care during their post-surgery discharge transition. Encouraging partial weight bearing and initiating intervention to reduce fear of falling at the earliest possible time are essential to attain a stable discharge transition. Additionally, older women should be invited to participate in their care, and family involvement should be encouraged during the discharge transition period in South Korea.

Invitation for care participation by older adults as well as family involvement should be considered at discharge transitional care in South Korea.
