Elderly patients have a 1-year survival rate of about 70–80% after a hip fracture, which decreases with advanced age, frailty, or serious health conditions. Timely surgery, overall health, and pre-fracture mobility strongly affect outcomes, while pre-existing conditions and post-surgery complications can hinder recovery. Families can support recovery by ensuring early treatment, rehabilitation, nutrition, fall prevention, home safety, and bone-strengthening exercises to reduce the risk of future fractures and improve long-term health.
