摘要
Sixty-eight patients with hip fracture, mean age 79 years, from the city of Lund, were studied with special reference to functional and social rehabilitation at follow-up 1 year later. As compared with patients coming from institutions for permanent care, patients coming from their own homes had a significantly better prognosis in terms of survival, mobility and ability to cope with activities of daily living (ADL). However, patients returning home needed increased domestic help. Patients living with someone returned home sooner than those living alone. Although many of the patients who returned home could walk without support or with a walking-stick, more than one half did not go out shopping. More active measures, e.g. early home visits by a rehabilitation team, might give the patients more self-confidence and independence. Immediate weight-bearing did not appear to impair healing of the hip fracture or increase the risk of necrosis of the femoral head. © 1979 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
