The purpose of the medico-surgical treatment of hip fracture in people aged 75 and over is to restore patients with a functional independence that is closest to that pre-fractured, while being as little aggressive as possible, at the shortest possible time and at the lowest financial cost. With this in mind, it is necessary to provide intensive rehabilitation at the beginning of the fortuitous "patient-hip fracture" in order to enable social reintegration as quickly as possible. This usually req...
