Association between early mobilization after hip fracture surgery and risk of long-term opioid therapy
LTOT is common after hip fracture surgery. Mobilization ≤ 24 h after surgery is associated with a lower risk of LTOT compared to mobilization between 24 and 36 h. Early mobilization is one of the key elements of successful patient recovery for reducing complications and mortality after hip fracture surgery.
