Updates in the Management of Hip Fractures
Main Article Content
Abstract
Hip fractures are a significant public health concern, particularly in the elderly population. This bibliographic review article provides an in-depth examination of the management of hip fractures, with a focus on epidemiology, clinical importance, theoretical framework, types of injuries, complications, and current management strategies. As the elderly population continues to grow, the management of hip fractures becomes increasingly critical. This review discusses the evolving approaches and evidence-based practices aimed at improving patient outcomes and reducing the burden of hip fractures.
