Hip Fracture Surgery Performed <24 Hours vs. >24 Hours (Next Calendar Day) After Emergency Department Presentation Yields Equivalent Outcomes
No notable differences were observed in key outcomes for patients undergoing <24 hours from ED arrival versus those who undergo surgery >24 hours after arrival but on the next calendar day. This study suggests that "next day hip fracture surgery" appears safe for patients with geriatric hip fracture.
