Rehabilitation after hip fractures. Home and hospital management compared

G A Pryor et al. J Bone Joint Surg Br. 1989 May.

Abstract

The rehabilitation of elderly patients after hip fractures is important: we report a prospective study which compares supported home rehabilitation with management in hospital in two similar groups of patients. Our results show that early discharge from hospital and home rehabilitation produces substantial savings in bed days, and also provides quicker and more effective recovery.
