Relationship between surgical time and postoperative

Abstract

Hip fractures, including femoral neck, intertrochanteric, acetabular, femoral head, and subintertrochanteric fractures, are very common clinically. Among them, femoral neck fracture and intertrochanteric fracture are the most common types of fractures (over 90%).1Comparingwith hip fracture in young patients, there are some special characteristics in senile patients: (1) The patients usually suffer from osteoporosis. (2) They need long-time rehabilitation in bed, whichmay lead to severe complications, such as hypostatic pneumonia, urinary tract infection, pressure ulcer, and deep venous thrombosis of lower limb.(3) Themortality after injury is quite high. Therefore, as a rule, orthopedic surgeons preferably choose surgical means to treat these patients.
