Abstract

In Denmark, 10,000 patients with hip fractures are annually admitted to hospital. These patients are generally old with a high degree of comorbidities. Current treatment strategies for peri- and postoperative treatment are presented in relation to patient reconvalescence. Overall expected hospitalization is 5-25 days with 1-3 months of analgesic treatment and physiotherapy. The 30-day mortality is 10% and the reoperation rate is 10-20%. The use of specialized centres and accelerated clinical programmes in Denmark is recommended.
