Abstract
In this study, we report the important knowledge for rehabilitation of hip fracture from the orthopedic doctor's viewpoint: how to consider and progress with the fracture treatment; how to decide the operation adaptation and method; how to decide the weight bearing timing; and what kinds of situation interrupt rehabilitation. Most hip fracture patients are 80 years old on average, have different social background, suffer dementia and underlying complications. Therefore, the speed of rehabilitation, aim setting, and the problems of treatment are completely different with each patient. However, bringing the best result to every patient is our responsibility. To carry out our duty, the staff performing rehabilitation need to understand the viewpoint of the orthopedic doctor for the treatment. I hope this report provides valuable insights for rehabilitation in hip fracture treatment.
