Abstract: Objective To explore the treatment characteristics and effect of hip fracture in aged patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 143 elderly patients with hip fracture, aged 75 years and over. 28 cases received non-surgery treatment and 115 cases received surgery treatment. Much of them had at least one chronic disease. The complications, preoperative preparation, operative indications, internal fixation devices, postoperative management, mortality rate and recovery rate were reviewed. Results The mortality rate of nonoperative management patients was 39.3% (11/28) in one year, and that of operative management patient was 8.7% (10/115). The recovery rate of nonoperative management patients was 28.5% (8/28) in one year, and that of operative management patients was 75.3% (79/115). Conclusions If full attention is paid to preoperative treatments, hip fracture of aged patients treated by operation is safe and effective.
