By 2050, it is predicted that six million hip fractures will
occur each year of which the majority will happen in Asia.
Malaysia is not spared from this predicted rise and its rate of
increase will be one of the highest in this region. Much of
this is driven by our unprecedented growth in the number of
older people. Characteristics of individuals with hip fractures
in Malaysia mirror what has been reported in other countries.
They will be older multimorbid people who were already at
risk of falls and fractures. Outcomes were poor with at least
a quarter do not survive beyond 12 months and in those that
do survive have limitation in their mobility and activities of
daily living. Reviewing how these fractures are managed and
incorporating new models of care, such as orthogeriatric
care, could address these poor outcomes. Experts have
warned of the devastating impact of hip fracture in Malaysia
and that prompt action is urgently required. Despite that,
there remains no national agenda to highlight the need to
improve musculoskeletal health in the country
