Hip fracture is one of the most common types of osteoporotic fractures in the elderly. Fractures can cause hip pain and lower limb deformities, leading to difficulties in standing and walking, which significantly affects the patient's quality of life. At the same time, bleeding caused by fractures can lead to changes in the patient's hemodynamics, putting the blood in a hypercoagulable state and increasing the risk of venous thrombosis. Although existing surgical techniques can accelerate the entire recovery process of fractures, there are still many issues during the perioperative period, including complications such as thrombosis. Many new perspectives and management strategies have been implemented in an attempt to address these issues. These latest developments are crucial for refining the management of hip fractures and assisting physicians in making the right decisions.
This topic aims to address issues in the postoperative management of hip fractures. To achieve this goal, we consider implementing new approaches, such as optimizing postoperative rehabilitation plans, to minimize adverse effects on the fracture site. Timely rehabilitation measures can reduce the risk of postoperative hip muscle atrophy and prevent the formation of deep vein thrombosis. Additionally, we will explore the development of biomaterials or biological agents to promote rapid healing of the hip fracture area, facilitating early restoration of patient functionality. Overall, we anticipate that the methods and techniques proposed in this topic will enhance the management of postoperative hip fractures, leading to improved rehabilitation outcomes for patients.
In this Research Topic, we welcome Original Research and Review articles on the following themes, including but not limited to basic research, clinical research, development and application of translational medicine, concise reviews, systemic reviews, and meta-analyses, commentaries and viewpoints:
• 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
