Prediction of rehabilitation after hip fracture
1Peterborough District Hospital.
Abstract:
Six hundred and forty-three consecutive patients admitted from their own home with a hip fracture were studied to determine which factors would predict patients' abilities to continue living at home. At 1 year from injury 22% of patients had died, 14% were in long-term residential care and the remaining 65% were living at home. The pre-fracture mobility of the patients was the most significant factor in predicting ability to continue to live at home, but also significant were mental state, physical health, age and type of fracture.

Hip Exam
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint that consists of the femoral head articulating with the acetabulum. When combined with the hip ligaments, the hip makes for a very strong and stable joint. But, despite this stability, the hip has considerable motion and is prone to degeneration with wear and tear over time and after injury. Hip pain can affect patients of all ages and can be associated with various intra- and...
