What is the linkage between hip fractures and hospitalizations?
2nd leading cause of hospitalizations in older adults
What is the association between hip fracture and deep vein thrombosis?
Those who have hip fracture are at a high risk for deep vein thrombosis
What is the primary mechanism for hip fracture?
Pre operative traction
Pre operative antibiotics
Early surgery
What does pre operative antibiotics decrease?
Deep tissue infections and UTI
What does getting surgery 24-48 hours after the fracture decrease?
decreased risk of mortality and pressure ulcers

10%
What may be required with a femoral neck fracture?
Hemi-arthroplasty
What are the complications due to a intrascapular femoral neck fracture?
Disruption of blood supply to femoral head
High incidence of healing complications
What is the weight bearing status for a femoral neck fracture?
Weight bearing as tolerated (depends on stability of internal fixation)
What is the weight bearing status of intertrochanteric?
Depends on degree of fracture stabilization, bone stock, patients frailty, and risk of immobility
What is the weight bearing status of subtrochanteric?
Delayed until fracture demonstrates evidence of healing
What is a superior femoral neck fracture?
Tension side (unstable)
What is the inferior femoral neck fracture?
Compression side (stable)
What are the risk factors of a stress fracture of the hip?
Females
Low aerobic fitness starting intense exercise
Overuse
Smoking
Steroids
Fatigue fracture
Normal bone subject to abnormal stress
