A broken hip: three steps to recovery

The National Hip Fracture Database 2024 State of the nation report

Every year, over 70,000 people in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will fall and sustain a hip fracture. Most people now survive, so it is not enough to measure quality of care by examining mortality figures alone. This report shows how the National Hip Fracture Database captures patients’ experience and helps to answer questions about three key steps in recovery from this injury. The report aims to provide readers with a simple guide to all these data and resources by describing the care that hip fracture patients should receive on their journey to recovery:

  • as they first present with a new hip fracture
  • as surgery allows them to get out of bed again 
  • through rehabilitation until they are back in their home

Why should I read the report?
