What professionals are involved in hip fracture rehabilitation?

See below: The first doctor is usually an orthopedist. After that physical therapists, occupational therapists, brace makers may also be involved. If the fracture requires extensive rehabilitation, sometimes a physiatrist ( a doctor of rehabilitation medicine) may also be involved.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed

Number of issues: Rehabilitation after a hip fracture usually involves strengthening of primary and accessory muscles that may have been affected by the surgery, such as hip flexors and extensors, as well as working on gait and safety issues. One of the key issues is also to work on universal precautions after a hip replacement to avoid dislocation of the hardware. The precautions will depend on surgical approach.
