It has been determined that only 50–60% of the patients can return to their own homes after a hip fracture, 20–90% of them have new deficiencies within 1 year after discharge and 15–25% of them die within 1 year. The focus of treatment and care after hip fracture is to ensure that patients reach a functional level before the fracture. These patients are at high risk for complications related to age and fracture, even in the best of circumstances. Planning individual treatment and care interventions after hip fracture surgery, determining the need for rehabilitation, and preventing possible complications seem important in terms of quality of life.
