Hip fractures are a frequent admission at hospitals. Here I will go over things that are helpful in getting patients to the OR safely and timely.
It is not important for the medical team to attempt to classify the type of fracture, leave that up to the orthopedic team. Simply refer to it as a right or left hip fracture. Occasionally, the ER or radiologist is wrong and all you do is propagate the mistake in the medical record.
Blood loss, VTE, prophylaxis, pain management as well as discharge planning is discussed.
