Hip fracture care
Timing of surgery and orthogeriatric care for hip fracture.
Key point
Orthopedic surgeons should perform operative intervention within 24 to 48 hours after hip fracture and avoid preoperative traction.

How these numbers are counted
PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:
"hip fracture*"[tiab] AND (orthogeriatric*[tiab] OR timing[tiab] OR "time to surgery"[tiab])Trials: ClinicalTrials.gov studies first submitted in each 12-month window that match the same terms. A query can miss synonyms or catch unrelated papers, so treat counts as approximate.
