What exactly makes hip fracture
so "vulnerable"?
When it comes to hip fractures, many people do not understand the dangers. Hip fractures are called the last fracture in life. The mortality rate is as high as 20%~30%, and 42% of patients cannot resume their pre-injury activities. , 5% cannot walk independently.
Hip fractures occur most often in the elderly with osteoporosis, and falls are the main cause.
Improper treatment of hip fractures can easily lead to disability in the elderly. Non-union of fractures and necrosis of the femoral head can cause difficulty in walking and loss of self-care ability. Long-term bed rest can cause pneumonia, bedsores, deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs, etc. Post-fracture complications are dubbed "the last fracture in life" because of their high disability and mortality rates.
The hip is one of the most important weight-bearing joints in the human body. It is composed of the acetabulum and the femoral head and is responsible for transmitting the weight of the whole body. Compared with other fractures, hip fractures have the following characteristics↓↓↓
The incidence rate is high
As the population ages, the incidence of hip fractures continues to increase. According to statistics, approximately 2 million hip fractures occur worldwide every year, and more than 80% of them occur in the elderly group over 65 years old.
Many complications
Common complications of hip fracture include deep vein thrombosis, lung infection, pressure ulcers, etc. These complications are more risky for elderly and frail patients and may even be life-threatening.
Difficulty in recovery
After hip fracture, patients often need to stay in bed for a long time, and their muscle strength and mobility are greatly reduced. Even after active rehabilitation, it is difficult to fully return to the life before the fracture.
The mortality rate is high
Hip fractures have the highest mortality rate of all fractures. This is primarily due to the increased risk of complications due to complications and reduced mobility.
This anti-slip work at home is very important.
The elderly have relatively weak adaptability to the environment. When facing obstacles in the surrounding environment, due to the degradation of their reaction ability, balance ability, vestibular system and other functions, it is difficult for them to make quick decisions. Falling in reaction. Research shows that environmental factors are closely related to falls in the elderly, and 27.3% of falls are caused by environmental factors.
Environmental factors refer to the interaction between an individual and the surrounding environment, including hazards in the residential environment (such as narrow stairs, insufficient light, etc.) and hazards in the public environment (such as poor building design, slippery floors, etc.).
If there are elderly people in your home, you must make the following improvements to the home environment:
1. The floor should be flat and not slippery
The floor in the home environment of the elderly must be smooth. Keep the floor dry on a daily basis and clean up water stains in a timely manner.
The area with the highest risk of falling in a home environment is the bathroom. It is best to use non-slip materials on the floor, and use non-slip mats in toilets, bathrooms, and kitchens.
Remove unnecessary steps, thresholds, and furniture slide rails. Note that the width, height, and edges of irremovable steps and thresholds must also be clear.
Reduce the use of unnecessary carpets or floor mats . If carpets or floor mats are used, they should be fixed to the ground. At the same time, pay attention to the carpet and floor mats not being too thick, and remove their curls and bulges in time.
2. The lighting selection and arrangement should be reasonable.
Insufficient natural lighting or too dark lighting may cause slips, trips, and falls due to unclear visibility of the surrounding environment. Similarly, too strong or improperly placed lights can cause discomfort to the elderly and make them unable to see their surroundings clearly. Therefore, the lighting selection and arrangement in the home environment must be reasonable. lighting needs to be installed in bathrooms, entrances, aisles, kitchens and other areas.
In addition, the lighting switch should be installed at a height that is convenient for use, and light switches should be set at the location where you enter the room and beside the bed.
Finally, remind the elderly to turn on the lighting when going to the bathroom, drinking water and other activities at night, or help the elderly equip themselves with night lights, flashlights and other tools.
3. Install solid handrails
Homes with elderly people or patients who are prone to falls need to install handrails in these locations.
Slippery places such as shower rooms and bathtubs;
Toilet seats, seats, sofas, beds, and other places where people often get up;
Steps, stairs, slopes, etc. where there are height differences.
The armrests should be installed firmly, made of non-slip material and easy to grasp. The height of the armrests should be suitable for the elderly to use. If the conditions are not met, you can use stable, height-appropriate furniture instead to support the body.
