About this Research Topic
Hip fracture is a prevalent concern in the field of geriatric orthopedics, particularly as it pertains to osteoporotic fractures in the elderly. These fractures can lead to significant complications, including hip pain, lower limb deformities, and impaired mobility, all of which severely impact the quality of life for affected individuals. Furthermore, the hemodynamic changes induced by fracture-related bleeding can result in a hypercoagulable state, heightening the risk of venous thrombosis. While advancements in surgical techniques have improved recovery timelines, the perioperative period remains fraught with challenges, notably the risk of thrombosis and other complications. Recent studies have introduced innovative management strategies aimed at mitigating these issues, yet there remains a critical need for further research to refine these approaches and enhance decision-making processes for healthcare providers.
This research topic aims to address the challenges associated with the postoperative management of hip fractures. The primary objectives include the implementation of novel strategies to optimize rehabilitation plans, thereby minimizing adverse effects at the fracture site. By focusing on timely rehabilitation measures, the research seeks to reduce the risk of postoperative complications such as hip muscle atrophy and deep vein thrombosis. Additionally, the exploration of new biomaterials or biological agents is intended to promote rapid healing, facilitating early restoration of patient functionality. Ultimately, the goal is to improve rehabilitation outcomes and enhance the overall management of postoperative hip fractures.
To gather further insights in the perioperative management of hip fractures, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Addressing issues in the postoperative management of hip fractures
- Selection of surgical strategies and outcome studies
- Optimization and improvement of postoperative rehabilitation plans
- Imaging factors and preventive measures for the formation of deep vein thrombosis
- Exploring the development of biomaterials or biological agents to promote rapid healing of the hip fracture area
- Maintaining the normal function of nerve-muscle connections
- Evaluation criteria for the postoperative rehabilitation outcomes of hip fractures
- Studying the factors influencing early functional recovery in patients
