Abstract:
Hip fractures,with an increasing morbidity in the elderly patients,pose a serious threat to the health of the aged.At the moment,surgery is the preferred treatment for the vast majority of these patients.Early surgical intervention is strongly recommended by most guidelines and articles.It is still controversial,however,whether surgery should be postponed or performed and whether medication therapy should be withdrawn or continued in some of the elderly patients with hip fracture who are taking anticoagulant or antithrombotic drugs before they are injured.Clopidogrel is one of the anti-platelet drugs commonly used clinically.This article reviews the literature regarding the impact of clopidogrel on surgical timing for hip fractures in the aged,hoping to provide useful clues to the clinical study and practice.
