Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The number and incidence of hip fractures are increasing and are associated with increased morbidity, increased frailty, and mortality risk. Therefore, optimising the management of these patients is important for the patient to ensure their best outcomes in healthcare systems where an increasing number of patients are presenting with this injury.
Despite the vast amount research around hip fracture care, unanswered issues remain in relation to time to theatre, perioperative care, minimising the length of hospital stay, returning to place of domicile, deep infection, the failure of fixation/revision, and limiting the frailty associated with injury and mortality risk.
This Special Issue will focus on the epidemiology, outcomes, and care of individuals with hip fractures. The aim is to produce a Special Issue that provides readers with current information on the care of these individuals following their injury to help optimise management.
