[Research status of the enhanced recovery after surgery in the geriatric hip fractures]

To summarize the latest developments in the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in the geriatric hip fractures and its perioperative therapy management.

The recent original literature on the ERAS in the geriatric hip fractures were extensively reviewed, illustrating the concepts and properties of the ERAS in the geriatric hip fractures.

It has been considered to be associated with the decreased postoperative morbidity, reduced hospital length of stay, and cost savings to implement ERAS protocols, including multimodal analgesia, inflammation control, intravenous fluid therapy, early mobilization, psychological counseling, and so on, in the perioperative (emergency, preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative) management of the geriatric hip fractures. The application of ERAS in the geriatric hip fractures guarantees the health benefits of patients and saves medical expenses, which also provides basis and guidance for the further development and improvement of the entire process perioperative management in the geriatric hip fractures.

Significant progress has been made in the application of ERAS in the geriatric hip fractures. ERAS protocols should be a priority for perioperative therapy management in the geriatric hip fractures.
