Sažetak

Hip fracture presents common clinical problem connected with serious consequences on patients health and quality of life. It is more common in elderly, half of whom face long term need for help in everyday activities and continuous use of walking aids. Incidence of hip fracture is raising and treatment and rehabilitation presents big challenge for health care system. Rehabilitation goals after hip fracture are pain diminution, healing enhancement and complication prevention, increased range of motion and strength and overall functional restitution that leads to maximal possible activity and social participation. Rehabilitation should begin immediately after fracture diagnosis and should be continuous with adequate intensity until best possible recovery is achieved. Rehabilitation includes patient education, positioning, exercises, using walking aids, applying physical medicine procedures, medication etc. Team treatment should be emphasized since several specialties, as well as patient and patient’s family, are active participants in the treatment. Physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists due to their competence in this field should be available during all rehabilitation phases and alongside with family physician leaders and coordinators of rehabilitation team. All goals, planes, recommendations, procedures and evaluation results should be clearly documented and available to achieve better communication and error prevention. Therefore guidelines are developed to achieve set goals. These guidelines are developed for physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists and other physicians involved in proximal femur fracture treatment.
