The long-term effect of comprehensive geriatric care on gait after hip fracture: the Trondheim Hip Fracture Trial-a randomised controlled trial

摘要

At present, most hip fracture patients are treated in orthopaedic wards. This study showed that a relatively short hospital intervention based on principles of comprehensive geriatric assessment resulted in safer and more efficient gait as long as 1 year following the fracture as compared to conventional orthopaedic treatment.
