Abstract
The effective management of older patients with fragility fractures of the femur remains central to modern trauma care. Processes of assessment and communication alongside means of identifying poor performance are vital to improving care in this population. The National Hip Fracture Database (NHFD) now contains around 1 million cases and has evolved over time to reflect contemporary practices in the care of older injured patients. The NHFD is in a unique position to inform hip fracture care and the wider global management of injured older patients. This report provides an update and details the processes within the NHFD, the scope, lessons learned and highlights future direction.
期刊介绍：
Orthopaedics and Trauma presents a unique collection of International review articles summarizing the current state of knowledge and research in orthopaedics. Each issue focuses on a specific topic, discussed in depth in a mini-symposium; other articles cover the areas of basic science, medicine, children/adults, trauma, imaging and historical review. There is also an annotation, self-assessment questions and a second opinion section. In this way the entire postgraduate syllabus will be covered in a 4-year cycle.
