Hip Fracture Part B: The Surgical Approach
Contemporary surgical approaches to the management of hip fractures have evolved over the years, resulting in improved outcomes and return of independence in the older adult. From the surgeon's perspective, there are variables, both pre op and post op, that can have either positive or negative consequences for this population. Among these variables, surgeons must consider health of the patient, classification of the fracture, fixation device options that best support the type of fracture, appreciation of the health status of the patient after surgery, and the important role of therapy in early mobilization. Upon viewing this course, the participant will have a better understanding of these variables. In addition, the participant will get a front row seat in the operating room, with the opportunity to view a selection of hip fracture surgeries. This is the second course in a five course series.
