Summary

Fragility fractures, also known as osteoporotic fractures, are fractures that occur as a result of low-energy trauma or minor impact. They are the most serious complication of osteoporosis and are common bone diseases in the elderly. With our country gradually entering the aging society, the incidence of brittle fracture is increasing year by year, most often in the hip. Hip fracture refers to femoral neck, intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures. Due to a series of complications caused by old age, weak body, many underlying diseases, significant decline in self-care ability and other reasons, it is also known as the last fracture in life. According to reports, within 1 year after hip fracture, only 30% of patients can recover to the functional state before fracture, 20% of patients will fracture again, and even cause lifelong disability, seriously affecting the long-term quality of life of patients, the reason may be related to the long course of disease, slow recovery, postoperative nutrition, rehabilitation exercise compliance, self-care ability decline and many other aspects. The fracture liaison service (FLS) is a nurse-centric, multidisciplinary approach to managing osteoporotic fractures that consists of three key elements: The core of identifying patients with fracture risk, assessing fall risk and initiating treatment to prevent refracture is to hire specialized coordinators to link emergency, orthopedics, rehabilitation, nutrition and other departments with community and family services to provide standardized management services for patients, reduce the incidence of refracture and promote the recovery of joint function of patients. Therefore, this study integrates FLS with "Internet + nursing service" and utilizes the advantages of "Internet + nursing service" in informatization to emphasize the risk assessment of re-fracture of patients at home after discharge, home health guidance (such as fall prevention, rehabilitation training and other related knowledge), online consultation of multidisciplinary teams, offline on-site service, etc., so that patients can be discharged from hospital. Access to ongoing medical care reduces the incidence of complications and promotes rapid recovery.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether an "internet + nursing" care program — where nurses provide remote support and monitoring for patients recovering from hip fractures — leads to better recovery outcomes compared to standard care. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have been diagnosed with a hip fracture caused by low-impact injury (fragility fracture, not a traumatic event) - You are scheduled for surgical repair - You have adequate communication skills - You (or a caregiver) can use a smartphone or smart device **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a history of psychiatric or neurological conditions (e.g., dementia) - You have multiple fractures or other major injuries at the same time - You have metastatic cancer, metabolic bone disease, or are terminally ill - You have insulin-dependent diabetes or uncontrolled thyroid disease Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

OTHEROn the basis of routine nursing, the "Internet + nursing program" based on the FLS model is implemented

1\) During hospitalization: After the patient is admitted to hospital, the coordinator will establish wechat contact with the patient face to face and establish a good trust relationship with the patient; The coordinator and the doctor will collect the patients' cases together, and then according to the patients' conditions and wishes, the diagnosis and treatment plan will be formulated jointly by multiple disciplines, including medicine, rehabilitation and nutrition management. 2) Before discharge: the coordinator helps the patient to make an appointment for return visit; Issue business cards of the team's online and offline services to patients and guide them to use wechat and online service application procedures (such as Zheli Care and Dr. Nari); 3) After discharge: patients keep in touch with the liaison staff at any time, and any abnormal situation will be contacted by the liaison staff; Team members supervised the patient's medication situation by punching in the mini program
