Research Article: The Paradoxical Association of Lipids with Survival and Walking Ability of Hip Fractures in Geriatric Patients After Surgery: A -Year Follow-Up Study
Abstract:
Hip fracture has become a severe health problem for older patients in the increasingly severe aging society due to its high mortality and disability. In most cases, the direct causes of hip fractures were low-energy injuries, such as falls and slips. However, the decrease in bone density mass (BMD) was the root cause of hip fractures in older adults. Osteoporosis may not only affect the incidence of fragility fracture but also the prognosis of fractures. The poor bone regeneration ability in older patients with osteoporosis may have a much longer stay in bed even after surgery, and this may contribute to the development of complications and even death.
