Welcome back to a very special episode, joined by Matt Costa, surgeon and professor of orthopaedics in Oxford. We dive into Grace's questions about her operation, clarifying why surgery is so important and unpack the differences between intracapsular and extracapsular hip fractures and their management. We finish by touching on subtrochanteric fractures, and exploring some of Matt's pioneering research in the field. We hope you enjoy!Links: Hip fracture: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1488757/ Hip fracture management NICE guidelines: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg124WHiTE 5 trial: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2108337WHiTE 11 trial: https://www.ndorms.ox.ac.uk/research/clinical-trials/current-trials-and-studies/fruitiHEALTH trial: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1906190Cochrane evidence: https://www.cochrane.org/evidence/CD013405_which-are-best-treatments-hip-fractures-older-adults
