Key result
Preoperative hip fracture rehabilitation prevents perioperative complications like DVT and pneumonia during surgical delays.
Why the study?
Early surgery is recommended after proximal femoral fracture, but preoperative waiting periods may be prolonged for various reasons, making preoperative rehabilitation therapy important for preventing perioperative complications.
Preoperative rehabilitation is important for preventing perioperative complications such as common peroneal nerve palsy, pneumonia, and pressure ulcers in patients with hip fractures experiencing delayed surgery.
Supports preoperative rehabilitation during hip fracture surgical delays; leaves open need for prospective trials before practice change.

Matsumura et al. (2022) conducted a review in Hip Fracture. Preoperative Rehabilitation was evaluated. Preoperative rehabilitation in patients with hip fractures is crucial for preventing perioperative complications such as deep vein thrombosis, pneumonia, and pressure ulcers during surgical delay.
