Abstract
Abstract The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence released its second update on hip fracture management in early 2023. First published in 2011, the last update was in 2017. The scope of this recent update focussed on surgical implants for hip fracture. This included recommendation to offer total hip replacements instead of hemiarthroplasty for displaced intracapsular hip fractures, and a move away from Orthopaedic Device Evaluation Panel rated implants to a more standardised consistent choice. Other recommendations such as the importance of multidisciplinary orthogeriatric care, early surgery and prompt mobilisation remain. As the literature surrounding hip fracture management continue to grow, guidance such as this needs to continue updating itself to ensure patients with hip fracture receive the best possible care.
