Treatment Guidelines for Hip Fracture in Elderly Handout

Hip fractures in the elderly are primarily caused by falls due to osteoporosis, poor balance, and impaired vision.

Diagnosis involves a physical examination and imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to confirm the fracture and its severity.

Hip fracture treatment options include surgical interventions like internal fixation, partial hip replacement, and total hip replacement, as well as non-surgical options for those who cannot undergo surgery.
