Description - Prevention and Management of Hip Fractures by Liz Onslow

Fractured neck of femur is a condition greatly feared by many
elderly people. In my work as a ward sister and specialist nurse I
have come to recognize the unique challenges associated with caring
for patients with femoral neck fracture. Their journey of care is a
complex one, which needs to be well managed from the moment they
arrive in the Accident and Emergency department until their
discharge from the acute environment, through the rehabilitation
process and their eventual discharge. With improved knowledge and a
commitment to preventative strategies, we can do much to help
reduce the incidence of hip fracture in the future.
The aim of this book is to develop the reader's knowledge and
skills in both theory and practice and to encourage readers to
apply this knowledge when caring for people who have fractured
their hip. The book emphasizes the importance of collaborative
working to promote effective rehabilitation and improve
outcomes.
This book will serve as a comprehensive resource for any nurse
or allied health professional whose working life brings them into
contact with people who have sustained a femoral neck fracture, and
assist nurses them to meet the complex needs of this client
group.
