Abstract

Hip fractures in elderly patients are most often associated with a high degree of morbidity and mortality. The effectiveness of early intervention cannot be overemphasized. A prospective cohort study on elderly patients treated with minimally invasive surgical techniques to recover discusses issues on functional recovery, complications and length of hospital stay. Data were collected from 120 patients aged 65 years and above for a period of 12 months. The findings of the study indicated that minimally invasive techniques were associated with improved functional recovery and fewer complications than traditional methods, making them valuable in the care of elderly patients. Such results support the wider use of minimally invasive techniques in managing hip fractures among older populations.
