The share of the elderly population is increasing. Changes in the human organism lead to weakened bone quality, osteoporosis occurs, muscle function is weakened, and thus more frequent falls that end in hip fractures occur. Hip fractures can be treated conservatively or surgically. The hip joint is spherical in shape and it enables the weight to be transferred from the upper extremities to the lower ones while maintaining mobility in all directions. During preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative care, the nurse/technician is of great importance. A fracture is caused by the action of a certain force on the bone. The type of fracture is defined by the relationship between the position of the bone fragments, the distribution of the fracture line and the condition of the skin. The way a hip fracture is treated depends on the type of fracture diagnosed. From the moment when the indication for surgical treatment of a fracture in the hip joint area is established, the perioperative period begins, which ends with the patient's discharge home. The specificity of postoperative healthcare also depends on the surgical procedure performed. The postoperative period begins with the transfer of the patient from the recovery room back to the trauma department, where the patient's care continues until he is discharged home. In the postoperative period, there is a possibility that certain difficulties and complications may occur, which the nurse/technician can prevent or limit their occurrence to a minimum by carrying out interventions in a timely manner. The implementation of health care aims to achieve the best possible outcome for the patient, and this is feasible only if all procedures are carried out professionally and conscientiously by nurses/technicians in compliance with all ethical principles.
