We analyze the perioperative management results among patients with proximal femur fractures after surgical treatment in the Traumatology Department of the Kotovsk City Clinical Hospital in 2021. An increase in the proportion of the elderly and senile population (60–90 years old) inevitably leads to an increase in the number of proximal femur fractures, which obliges the traumatology departments in hospitals to allocate more forces and funds to assist this category of patients, to introduce and apply not only modern surgical and anesthesiological techniques, but also new approaches to the perioperative management of patients and especially patients over 60 years old, who, as a rule, have several concomitant diseases complicating the course of the underlying disease. The use of a multidisciplinary approach, a full-fledged laboratory and instrumental examination, detection of concomitant pathology and its correction, performing surgical interventions no later than 48 hours from the moment of admission to the hospital, adequate high-quality anesthesia, early initiation of mobilization measures no later than 24 hours, correct calculation of the permissible load on the operated limb allow achieving good results in the surgical treatment of patients with proximal femur fractures. This contributes to improving the quality of life among patients after surgery and their return to an active full-fledged life, despite their age. |
