Timing of Hip Fracture Surgery in the Elderly

Abstract: The effect of preoperative wait time for surgery is a long-standing subject of debate. Although there is disagreement among clinicians on whether early surgery confers a survival benefit per se, most reports agree that early surgery improves other outcomes such as length of stay, the incidence of pressure sores, and return to independent living. Therefore, it would seem prudent to surgically treat elderly patients with hip fractures within the first 48 hours of admission. However, the current body of evidence … Show more

Separately, the perioperative management of these patients is becoming more complex and increasingly important in the health care system overall [3].…”

“…Ameliyat sonrası komplikasyon oranı yüksektir, rehabilitasyonu zordur ve yaklaşık ameliyattan bir yıl sonraki ölüm oranı %30'dur. Cerrahi yapılmayan hastalarda sonuçlar daha kötüdür; bu yüzden cerrahi birçok kalça kırıklı hastada standart olarak uygulanan tedavi yöntemi haline gelmiştir (2) . Mortalite ve morbiditeyi etkileyen prognostik faktörler ile ilgili birçok çalışma vardır.…”

“…El tratamiento tiene como objetivo recuperar el nivel de independencia y deambulación previo, la reducción quirúrgica se acompaña de una alta incidencia de complicaciones y un prolongado periodo de rehabilitación que incrementa si la resolución es tardía; se calcula que la tasa de mortalidad en un 1 año es cercana al 30 % [6,11,15]; sin embargo, sin cirugía los resultados son pobres e incapacitantes por lo que la cirugía se ha convertido en el tratamiento de elección [11,16,17].…”
