Comparative Study of One-Year Mortality after Surgery for Hip Fracture in Patients Aged 75 Years and Over in an Orthopedic Cohort and in a Geriatric Cohort, November 2015-November 2017, University Hospital Center Cochin, Paris

Abstract

The purpose of the medico-surgical treatment of hip fracture in people aged 75 and over is to restore patients with a functional independence that is closest to that pre-fractured, while being as little aggressive as possible, at the shortest possible time and at the lowest financial cost. With this in mind, it is necessary to provide intensive rehabilitation at the beginning of the fortuitous “patient-hip fracture” in order to enable social reintegration as quickly as possible. This usually requires a multidisciplinary approach that can be provided in dedicated geriatric units.
