【Abstract】 Objective To summarize the application and research status of the hip protector (HP) and to discuss the current problems and further research direction. Methods HP related literature in recent years was reviewed and analyzed. Results Biomechanics experiment studies have shown that HP could protect hip joint from fractures caused by falling, however, the protective effect of HP has not shown clinically. Conclusion HP biomechanical experiments show better protective effect, which may be related with the lower impact energy; in clinical application, poor compliance of HP is considered as the main reason of weak protective effect.
