Weight-bearing and mobilisation timing after hip fracture surgery in older adults: an international survey of clinicians' perspectives
This study offers insights into global variations in the timing of mobilisation and weight-bearing after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It reveals disparities in postoperative services and resources between HICs and LMICs. Additionally, it establishes a foundation for future research and underscores the importance of international collaboration and knowledge sharing in enhancing postoperative care services.
