Hip fracture in the elderly is a disease with a high mortality rate and a high complication rate. Its main treatment method is surgery. The concept of enhanced recovery after surgery runs through the perioperative period of elderly patients with hip fracture. Elderly patients with hip fracture should be scheduled for surgery as soon as possible after admission to enhance postoperative functional recovery. Preoperative ambulation and postoperative exercise can reduce postoperative complications and mortality, shorten the length of hospital stay, and promote functional recovery.
