Implication

Supports adoption of multidisciplinary early-repair protocols for hip fractures; extends Level 1 perioperative guidance.

Key Points

Establish evidence-based, protocol-driven recommendations for the acute and multidisciplinary clinical management of proximal femoral fractures.
Formulated consensus guideline recommendations spanning emergency admission, perioperative timing, and multidisciplinary care pathways for patients presenting with hip fractures.
Recommends fast-track emergency department admission and surgical repair within 48 hours of admission to serve as primary analgesia and optimize patient outcomes.
Emphasizes orthogeriatrician-led multidisciplinary care, early postoperative mobilisation, proactive discharge planning, and secondary fall prevention measures.
Identifies the necessity for experienced surgical and anaesthetic teams alongside continuous clinical audit and targeted research to drive institutional quality improvement.
