Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about and monitor the cross-sectoral rehabilitation process in older high-risk patients treated for at fragility fracture of the hip.
The main questions aim to answer:
- how patients are doing up to one year after hip fracture surgery on different outcomes across the continuum of rehabilitation being offered
- what expectations, experiences and satisfaction patients have for the overall rehabilitation process after a hip fracture
Participants age 65 and above with home address in Frederiksberg municipality, living in own home, admitted and treated for at hip fracture at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Bispebjerg Hospital, will be asked for participation.
Detailed Description
In addition to primary and secondary outcome measures some of the patients will be asked to respond to a interviewer-based questionnaire, about their experiences of the rehabilitation offered during their hospital stay and at the temporary municipality-based 24-hour setting / or at home during the first couple of months. Furthermore, they will be interviewed about their expectations for rehabilitation in the municipality at time of discharge from the acute hospital.
