New international consensus on operative and non-operative hip fracture management 🦴 🦴 🦴
We’re delighted to highlight new research from ANZHFR team member Professor Rebecca Mitchell (@HealthDataProf) who has contributed to an international modified-Delphi study developing consensus statements on operative and non-operative management of people with hip fracture.
The study involved hip fracture experts from 17 countries and resulted in 15 consensus statements, with 14 (93%) achieving high consensus. The statements aim to support a more consistent approach to non-operative care and shared decision-making, particularly for older adults approaching end of life.
The authors emphasise that decisions around operative or non-operative management should be individualised to each patient’s circumstances, goals and preferences.
The findings are particularly relevant to the care of older adults approaching end of life, where decisions around operative versus non-operative management can be complex and require careful consideration of the potential benefits, burdens and goals of treatment.
Congratulations to Professor Mitchell and the international expert group on this important contribution to the evolving evidence base around hip fracture care!

New research finds care for one‐third of hip fractures in NSW did not achieve high level adherence to quality care, the delivery of hip fracture care must be further improved.

Important data showing that lives can be saved by adhering to the national clinical care standard quality indicators. Its not enough to be good at one or two!!! @ANZHFR @ACSQHC
The @ANZHFR, based at NeuRA, continues to grow and has data on more than 110,000 hip fractures. Its 2024 Annual Report had a focus on performance against the clinical care standard. @JacquiCTClose
