What are the risk factors for contralateral refracture after hip fracture surgery in elderly individuals?
Identifies key risk factors for contralateral refracture in elderly patients following hip fracture surgery to guide targeted interventions.
Elderly patients with hip fractures are susceptible to refracture after surgery because of factors such as advanced age, female sex, high FRAX score, poor knee joint function, anemia, osteoporosis, visual impairment, and AD. Targeted interventions should be implemented based on the above risk factors.
