This study shows that an accelerated multimodal perioperative care program significantly reduces hospital stay for hip fracture patients. Early mobilization and pain management improve recovery and reduce complications.

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Perioperative Care

Background:

  • Multimodal approaches can minimize surgical stress response, reducing complications and hospital stay after major surgeries.
  • Hip fracture patients often experience prolonged hospital stays and complications.
  • A well-defined rehabilitation program is crucial for post-hip fracture recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the outcomes of a structured rehabilitation program for hip fracture patients.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of an optimized perioperative care strategy in hip fracture management.

Main Methods:

  • An open intervention study involving 200 hip fracture patients allowing full weight-bearing.
  • Comparison of an accelerated multimodal perioperative care program (n=100) with conventional treatment (n=100).

  • The multimodal program included epidural analgesia, early nutrition, oxygen, restricted fluids, and intensive physiotherapy.

    • Main Results:

    • Median hospital stay reduced from 21 to 11 days.
    • Total hospital days decreased significantly from 3211 to 1667.
    • Fewer complications were observed, with no change in the need for home care.

    Conclusions:

    • An accelerated clinical pathway focusing on pain relief, nutrition, and rehabilitation can shorten hospital stay.
    • This approach may improve patient recovery following hip fracture surgery.
