This position paper from the Fragility Fracture Network (FFN) responds to the observed global variation in weight-bearing prescriptions after hip fracture surgery in older adults.
The paper summarises current guidelines and evidence regarding unrestricted weight-bearing after hip fracture surgery.
The synthesis of available evidence supports the endorsement of unrestricted weight-bearing after surgery to enhance patient outcomes.
The FFN endorses unrestricted weight-bearing and recommends healthcare professionals, institutions, and policymakers re-evaluate practices favouring limited or non-weight-bearing prescriptions and establish a standardised system for monitoring and auditing, with clear justification and documentation of any restrictions.
